Oh how I wish I lived in New York! I would so apply for this job.
Likewise!!
After all these years Apartment Therapy calls itself a startup? Really?
Prior to marriage and a family, I would have quit my job, moved to NYC and taken a paycut just for the chance to work for Apartment Therapy!
I don't work in this industry, but my pet peeve is job postings that don't state salary or compensation. Come on, its a waste of everyone's time - you'll spend time considering candidates who need or want more and candidates will go through the hassle of applying and, potentially, interviewing for a job that doesn't work for them. I know job posters probably think it weeds put those motivated by money or some crap, but it's a job... nearly everyone works for the money.
But maybe that's just in my field. Maybe the Admin job sector is more standard and applicants will be able to accurately predict what this sort of job pays?
Yes, ernern, you can count on this being a loowww-wage position. I work as one currently, as often as I am told that I am the glue that holds the organization together, mine is a non-exempt position, the lowest in our organization and the lowest paid. it's a tough job and you have to know everything about everything, yet it is considered unskilled and compensated as such, thus I have a new position in two weeks, not smiling for that low $$ any more. As it is considered unskilled, the employer doesn't have to take the courtesy to post compensation, they may be embarrassed too. Thanks for listening
