GOOD HELP IS HARD TO FIND
By 1985, there will be almost 250,000 more secretarial positions available than secretaries to fill them. Personnel Journal offers these suggestions for finding and keeping good secretaries, despite the short supply: Hire men. Many people automatically overlook more than half the labor force when they hire secretaries. Right now, only about 1% of secretaries are men, but that's likely to increase as traditional male/female roles fade and jobs become scarce. But note that women have a lot of attractive jobs open to them now, as men have always had. To attract topnotch secretaries of either sex, you may have to pay more than you have in the past.
Provide clear job descriptions. This will help to eliminate the personal services that are sometimes assumed to be part of a secretarial job- things like picking up the boss's laundry, etc. Use flextime and job-sharing. They make secretarial jobs more attractive to people whose family or other responsibilities prevent them from taking full-time jobs. Commercial Insurance Service Inc. Newsletter, Charleston, W.Va.
