How much can an administrative assistant or receptionist expect to earn per week?

Hey Rio

Don't sell yourself short. You're too smart for that, especially if it's full time. I "heard" you speak enough to know you can start at least with $9-10/hour. If you know Word and Excel ask for a little more. You can always play it safe and say it's negotiable, or ask them to test your skills first and then talk money. I'd try to "sell" myself first, get the interview and then discuss salary. I hate using that "sell" when it comes to the self... but that's how it is unfortunately.

If you really like the job, take it. You can always move up. If I were your age again, I'd try really hard to work in a college setting. You may start low, but, you can move up - or sideways, you're always around some form of intelligent life... and, the benefits are good. Also, many will pay for a huge chunk of your tuition. Not that you need it, I know. But, you can always use that money dad saved for you to put it down for an apartment.

Good luck!
