I have to say we have been given some excellent candidates for The Head in the Bucket Award. Here are just three of the stories and the winner for February.
1. Laura Hartley frantically rang Mazars last week to retrieve a deleted document she was working on. She was on the phone to poor Chris for several minutes explaining how important the document was and that he had to know a way to retrieve it before finally realising it had come through on an email and she still had it attached in her inbox!
2. During the recent swap over of Profile to Profile RPM last Tuesday evening, Samantha Whitehead was being very efficient and printed out signed for everyone in Blackburn office to say “do not switch on Profile unless told to do so”, as requested by Laura. But instead she wrote “do not switch on computers unless told to do so”. Danielle rang Samantha at 8.25am the next day to say “what’s wrong with the computers? I’ve been sat here since 8am waiting get on my computer” To which Samantha replied “I am sorry I was in a hurry and wrote “computer” instead of profile”. Danielle was not impressed to say the least!
3. On Monday 18th February it was one of the coldest days of the year reaching -6 C in some places in particular Huddersfield. Liz said the branch should buy a heater for the office. She found one in Argos which was duly purchased and set up. Paul set the clock and Jane had the heater in the back of the office. When the timer was set it didn’t work, so the team assumed it was set incorrectly and reset it for the day after. It still didn’t work! They finally discovered the heater was plugged into was Jane’s computer socket which she switches off each evening knocking off the timer! How many consultants does it take to put on the heating?
BUT THE WINNER IS JENNIE WOOD
Jennie Wood – was having a mature moment when attending the Profile RPM training two weeks ago. She went to the ladies washed her hands, put them under the “dryer” to dry rubbing them frantically when Anne Marie pointed out that the “dryer” was in fact the paper towel holder!!!!! Doooooohhhhhh – it’s this modern technology you know!
Congratulations Jennie who wins the Prestigious HEAD IN THE BUCKET AWARD - February

Secretarial jobs
Generally a secretary works in the office environment. Similar to the role of the

of the secretary include booking travel arrangements, attending meetings and minute taking, managing other staff members,
typing up documents and answering the telephone to name a few.
The role of the secretary is varied and demanding. If you are looking for

Skills required for our
secretarial jobs include
excellent phone manner, excellent administration skills, proven management skills.
No direct secretarial experiences see our
admin jobs!!!
Human Resources
The responsibilities of the HR team are vast. Responsible for all areas of staffing, the HR department includes performance
evaluations, training, grievances, and recruitment. Other areas include absences, earnings, supervisory reports
regarding performance, and any dates of hire and terminations including reason for termination.
The objective of HR is to maintain the opinions and integrity of their employees. HR liaises with managers to schedule
and assign employees duties on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. HR also introduces new employees to the company,
ensuring they understand all aspects of the company policy.
Admin jobs
Similar to the likes of the
secretarial jobs, administration jobs can be an equally demanding role. The individual must
have a strong understanding of windows, must be confident in the office place, have a good telephone manner and generally
be adaptable to all office requirements.
Admin jobs for the school/ college leaver can start from as little as 12K and continue to climb dependent on experience.
If you are new to the office environment, this may be the perfect opportunity to build up your experience so you can later
apply for more senior roles such as secretarial or pa, even HR jobs. See latest
admin jobs.
Receptionist jobs
In many respects the role of receptionist can be very similar to that of a customer service representative. That is providing
the work environment is not a call center where only customer service reps are primarily employed. Similar to a
customer service rep, the first person you see and/or make contact with in a company is the Receptionist.
The main role of a Receptionist is to deal with visitors and accommodating repeat customers. Another important role they
have is to answer the phone and to be able to portray a positive image of the company. Other duties include some filing,
keeping the reception area clean, and typing. There may also be additional duties delegated at the supervisors request.
