Best candidate for the admin asst position...?

C...ad said bachelors degree or 5 years min. related experience.....candidate C has it!

Candidate A does not have the qualifications...no BA, and only 3 years exp. admin assist.

Candidate B has a BA, but not having any prior experience, and only somewhat computer savy is a disadvantage.

Definately C

Candidate A: Not qualified. No BA degree & not enough experience. Typing speed not up to par, 50wpm is considered too slow for secretarial type positions, at least this person is computer savvy.

Candidate B: Qualifed. Has BA degree, but no previous admin experience. Typing speed is good. hmm...somewhat computer savvy, well admins don't really need to be all that computer savvy to do their jobs.

Candidate C: Qualified. No degree but more than enough experience, excellent typing speed, advanced skills in MS Office are always a definite plus, and so is being very computer savvy.

FYI, in case you didn't realize it...When someone says "very computer savvy" that tells me this person is competent at troubleshooting and fixing PC software and hardware issues. A very good thing if your company doesn't have an official IT department and wants to save money on computer repair expenses.

"A" is clearly not qualified, no degree and not enough experience. Also, typing speed is far too slow. I expect a decent admin to type no less than 80wpm.

"B" is qualified but lacks experience. Admin jobs don't necessarily need someone with previous experience nor do they have to be very computer literate.

"C" is also qualified but is a high school drop out and has no college degree. The typing speed and MS Office skillset are excellent.

"C" does seem like the best choice. ...but do you really want to hire an admin who didn't even bother to finish high school properly?? I wouldn't. ...so my choice is "B" and let another admin from a different department mentor him/her for a month or so till they get the hang of it.

i might say the suited thank you to get a experience for a manner the guy thinks is to recent some generic circumstances that have got here approximately in workplace and ask how the candidate might have dealt with the region. The trick right this is you will desire to discover a sturdy assistant who's a extra healthful for the guy they're going to be working with. So the "boss's" reaction to the candidate's solutions is the what's needed.

If candidate C because the job spec states Bachelors Degree or 5 years experience so they do fulfil the job spec.

Also consider who's employment is most stable look to your top two and compare who has shown the most loyalty to their previous employers.

C

I don't have a degree but I run an office with a dozen plumbers, do the full accounts without a bit of paper saying I can do them and I do all the wages.

Degrees aren't everything.

I agree that C would be the best candidate. Experience can far outweigh college.
