Comments:
My experience with Leafstone was kind of weird. I called them to re-register (I was currently at the Leafstone branch in my hometown before moving to NYC), and quickly sent them a cover letter, my resume and even a PowerPoint sample. Although I cleary stated my over five years' admin and MS Office experience, they sent me an e-mail back saying that they were unable to help me at the time; that they were looking for "Administrative Assistants with 2 years
experience with intermediate to advance word excel and power point."
Huh? Being that I had more than enough experience according to that, perhaps they were looking for someone less qualified? Whatever. Needless to say, I never even got an interview from them.
