I thoroughly enjoy the diversity of these positions, the project management, and the role of admin support. Temp, volunteer, apply for PT work and list that as your present role.

The mistakes were along the lines of typos, not explaining a request so it was 100% dummy-proof, and not catching a detail buried on a multi-page group email that had been forwarded to so many people by the time it got to me that I had to hunt and peck for the bits of information like I was looking for Waldo.
