I've just been trawling for local jobs (it's my day off!!) and came across this one:-
Administrator - £17,000 - Administrator required for well established company based in xxxxx. This position requires someone with good numeracy skills and attention to detail. You will be required to take on general administrative duties in the office. Proof reading orders will be involved, so good accuracy is highly important. You will be checking for mistakes in the orders and correcting where necessary. You will also be stock taking and liaising with clients over the phone regarding orders and payments. To apply you must have excellent numeracy skills and attention to detail. Ideally qualified to degree level in something numeracy based. You must have previous office experience, although accountancy or bookkeeping experience would be highly desirable. You will received a competitive salary of £17,000 + benefits
Is it just me? Do they want an administrator or accounts/bookkeeper and a degree:huh:? No I'm not going to ring - the pay is less than I'm on now!

A numeracy based degree= maths, accounting, IT
Previous experience in any of those fields after a degree would take you past admin work.
I have also found that employers don't know what they want - or sometimes what we do!
:cool2:
Dont you just hate that term - It means so many different things in so many different areas of employment.
Ive been an practise administrator for 3 years, translation is - tea maker to credit controller and everything inbetween
Although the rate of pay doesnt seem that bad for an admin role - is it city location? that might explane it!
My thoughts are, this is a credit control job.
