Default Looking for Administrative or CSR job.

Hi,
I'm new to The Villages. We just moved here 3 weeks ago from New Jersey. We live in a beautiful house in Lake Deaton. I love it here, but I need a full time job with benefits. I am currently pursuing leads with CompassHR, Careersinthevillages.com, and ads in the Daily Sun.
If anyone hears of a position before it hits the classified, please message or email me. I have a good solid background and resume!
Thanks,
Lori

Good luck. I found that most positions were exceedingly low-paying with no benefits. Seems that secretarial-type positions were set at 20-35 hours per week so that no benefits would have to be offered. ObamaCare may have changed this a little but I wouldn't bank on it. (I was a legal secretary for thirty years before moving here, so had a very strong AA background and resume.)

R.U. looking for General Customer Service Rep job
or
Insurance industry related CSR, General Lines, Underwriter duties?

If insurance industry, the WAHVE always has work from home positions available.
( Work at Home Vintage Employees )

Have some kinfolk who own Insurance Agencies and use WAHVE
to cover staffing needs during regular maternity leave and extended illness
leave and Federal Family Medical Leave Act and periodic business surges.

If you are up to speed and experienced, there are work from home jobs available.
You "should" be 50 or over, but exceptions are made.

Did you by chance research job opportunities in this area before you moved? I don't want to be negative, but you might have some difficulty finding the exact job you want. The South has never paid as much for many jobs as other areas in the country. You might want to check with the company you just left to see if there are any jobs for them you can do online from home. When you are checking for jobs, don't forget not only Orlando and Ocala, but maybe even Gainsville VA or the University Hospital there. Wishing you well in your search...

Ya know - there are a LOT of banks in the area; and there are even some college campuses in the area, too! And there are medical offices/facilities and utility companies. My suggestion - visit each business IN PERSON with your resume! You'd be surprised how a small employer reacts to a personal visit rather than a headhunter or on-line introduction! My old receptionist was my best personnel recruiter!

Default Good luck

Most jobs in The Villages are part time with no benefits. You will have to look in Tampa or Orlando to get full time with benefits. About an hour and a half commute one way.

Full time jobs with benefits are few and far between in this area of Florida. Gainesville and Orlando may offer more prospects but the commute is awful. Good luck to you in your search.
