I recently turned down a job offer – administrative office assistant at a non-profit – because the hiring manager expected more than full-time hours' worth of work, for a 15-20 hour a week paycheck. Seriously. I was told in the interview that, if selected, I would be expected to “only” work 15 to 20 hours per week, but “everything has to get done and there's no budget for overtime for this position”.
If I'd accepted, I would have been expected to do all the filing and take all the phone calls for an office of 10 people, screen and do appointment intake for clients, collate and mail all correspondence and e-mail, arrange catering for all on-site meetings at very short notice, and a whole host of other tasks. BY MYSELF. So, I said thanks for the opportunity, but I must respectfully decline your kind offer!
I was looking at job listings not too long ago, and guess who's hiring for that exact same job that I turned down? They're offering less pay, too. I think I more than dodged a bullet.
