Would a guy in his 40′s have trouble getting hired as an administrative assistant?

Question by Gordon S: Would a guy in his 40′s have trouble getting hired as an administrative assistant?
I am between jobs and having trouble getting hired in my profession (paralegal). I am a guy, in my late 40′s and have a good grasp of various computer programs like Word, Excel, Access and Outlook Express. Would it be difficult for me to get work through a temp agency as an administrative assistant? I haven’t been able to get jobs through legal recruitment agencies for legal temp work.

Answer by GingerLatte
I would recommend calling up some local temp agencies in your area. Then set up an appt. You usually need to take in your resume, showing details of background and experience.

They will probably give you some tests to figure out your typing speed, accuracy, etc.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? Good luck, Ginger

Question by BooBoo: what can and should i get a masters in if i have a associate degree in human services and paralegal assistant?
I have narrowed down my majors to human service assistant and paralegal assistant. And when i am finished with those two majors i want to go to an online school to either get a bachelors degree or a masters degree in something in a related field. I dont want to be ripped off so i want to find a college that is a real college that isnt going to rip me off or anything and that is proffesional and my degree will be real and accepted
