Comment on Everest Career Education Network – Career education by mary ingraham

I cannot stand their commercials. Talk about overkill, i counted 17 times it was advertised in an hour program. I am so sick of them that I do not even watch the station they advertise on anymore. I even called the TV station here in Michigan & asked why is Everest allowed to have 17 commercials on within an hour? The rep told me because they had the money. Why do they advertise so much??? Because it’s a scam, plain & simple. Anybody that buys into their salespitch needs to be mentally checked. Just look at the low class people who are in them, gag me.

Without experience, you will need educational credentials. It depends on what type of admin assistant you desire to be. Something like a small office, an associates would break you through but don’t expect to be paid much… ever.

At the higher corporate level will require a bachelors degree. Nothing specific, but they tend to favor business majors as it’s more relevant to the position and usually most of them were marketing majors.

There’s also medical office/hospital admin assistants. In these cases you should take a program focusing on this, as it would include medical terminology courses that are important for employment.

Many community colleges offer associates degrees for administrative assistants, and they’re not very popular programs – very people go into college wanting to be a secretary – but there are a lot of people out there looking for competent secretaries.

No you cannot do it from home. Anything that you see on the internet that says you can is a scam. Admin Assistant is a fancy way of saying secretary. You don't even need classes for this but sometimes a Bachelors is preferred. You can get a receptionist position that pays $10 an hour almost anywhere. Start off with that and work your way up. You generally need knowledge in computers (especially excel) and data entry.

I have no idea what an executive and administrative assistant is. Are you a secretary? Just using fancy words to go around it? Be realistic, just type secretary and you'll pull tons of results for jobs.

Have you thought of becoming a Virtual Assistant and going into business doing this for yourself? That is what I have done and it has worked out great! You get to do what you love and help others run successful businesses as well. What could be better?
