Job Opening UFM Office Manager: First Applicant Screening January 13.

 Job Opportunity: as edited and annotated by RantWoman

Heroic live human office manager who answered the phone when RantWoman first went looking via the Yellow Pages (the PRINT version; it was last century and RantWoman could still officially see) is retiring after many years of service to the meeting! 

Bookkeeping and payroll will now be outsourced, and UFM is hiring a part-time office manager (12-16 hours/week). This position is the coordination point for communication within the Meeting. The office manager responds to inquiries and requests, schedules room rentals, prepares and disseminates written material, pays bills, makes bank deposits and posts income and expenses. Experience with office management, Microsoft Office, Google docs, QuickBooks. Self-directed, flexible. $24-26/hour, plus some benefits. Job description at Office Manager Job Posting

RantWoman definitely recommends reading the full job description.

RantWoman absolutely is not prepared to attest that ANYONE in the hiring process can wrap their minds around the term "reasonable accommodations," but is happy to speak both to what about the place STILL matters to RantWoman and considerations about when in an employment process to disclose one's disability.

No "Driver's License Required" YAY! Cien puntos as Little Sister would say.

Non-discrimination on the basis of disability. Ummmmm

Job site may present challenges for people with some mobility issues but RantWoman will NOT make assumptions about what would or would not work for any individual..

Apparently a previous staffer in the role had a severe vision impairment. RantWoman has NO strategies for fulfilling what she knows of vision intensive essential job functions and other parts of the role are not where RantWoman's gifts lie.

RantWoman also promises not to refer:

--one of the Blind Prayer warriors who is very friendly in a welcoming Southern way and needs to talk about Jesus all the time, but more because the technical skills needed are more of a lift than RantWoman would want to encourage her to reach for.

--A vehemently Catholic visually impaired former teacher from a Latin American country whose capacity to have a 30-minute argument in Spanish with another native Spanish speaker about alphabetization rules in an English-speaking office hopefully spared her the need ever to try to function in any office not adapted for people who are visually impaired.

--A person on the autism spectrum who REALLY LIKES TO FILE. That might be an asset for this job, but this person is even more sports-challenged than RantWoman and might not be able to accomplish socially lubricating conversation about professional sports.

That probably leaves plenty of people with disabilities who would have a lot to offer in this role.

In closing and probably NOT especially germane to this job posting, RantWoman has an earworm this week. The earworm is about turning all kinds of history and unpleasantness into a big dance party:
