Calling all animal lovers who have a knack for organization and a penchant for admin work: Butts County is on the lookout for an Administrative Assistant to join their Animal Services team. The county's website posted a job opening yesterday for an individual who will serve as the first touchpoint for the public, manage records of furry friends and their adoptions, handle the intricacies of scheduling and reporting, and assist officers in ensuring the office doesn't turn into a zoo—figuratively speaking, of course.
The ideal candidate is someone with a high school diploma or something equivalent, and they better be good with people and paper—or digital files, for that matter—sporting strong communication and organizational skills, with computer savvy, particularly in Microsoft Office; now if you've got experience in office admin work or have gotten your hands dirty with some animal-related tasks before, you could be jumping right to the top of the pile.
But before you get too excited, keep in mind that your candidacy is hanging on the results of a criminal background check and the dreaded drug screen, a small hoop to jump through for ensuring the safety and integrity of the team. If you make it through—congratulations!—you'll be thrown into what's likely a whirlwind of pets, paperwork, and the occasional barks and purrs of office life.
To throw your hat in the ring, don't look for stamps or an envelope; simply head online and apply straight through Butts County's site.
