Just a bit of a rant, I'm feeling a little deflated.
Last week I went in for an interview for an administration position on a property management company. My roles would include basic office running, calls, emails, rent follow up etc.
This office is ran by two partners, they did not want to introduce any workers as that may 'dilute their work ethic and high level of customer service'. However they have now become so busy they are forced to bring in an employee to help.
They manage around 100 properties and have been successful since starting with only one, according to them.
They were impressed with me and want to hire me. I have previous experience in similar positions before, for around 2 years. (Not a huge amount, true.)
Monday to Thursday 10am to 5pm, another couple hours on Friday. 30 hours a week.
Wage? £300/week.
Yes. Below minimum wage.
Is this where are now? Office jobs offering £10/hour in London?
