A GROWING Tradition - Growing Careers and People for our Growing Business.
We are a home based business celebrating our 36th year. You would be working in a two-person office in the North Potomac area (20878 zip code) of Montgomery County. We are looking for an energetic and results-driven Montgomery County resident who DOES NOT REQUIRE HEALTH INSURANCE BENEFITS - although we DO OFFER PAID VACATION and several PAID HOLIDAYS.
We're a year-around business, working collaboratively with all our residential and commercial clients to provide gardening solutions in all areas of landscaping, including maintenance, construction and design.
In our industry, good, experienced Office Administrators typically earn $45,000 - $57,000 per year, and we would hope that you would deserve that kind of wage within a few years, once you have learned the ropes. My Bloom invests in current office technology and equipment, and supports your professional skills development to help you reach career goals and maximize your earning potential.
My Bloom desires someone who understands the importance of providing exceptional customer service as well as someone who is willing to learn and grow in the business (we pay for training materials and tests you take to become more proficient in various areas, as you progress up the ladder in our industry).
We strive to achieve long-term relationships with clients, not one-time transactions, and with the help of a great Office Administrator, we can usually achieve that objective by putting ourselves in the client's shoes.
Our knowledgeable team has the experience to make any landscape flourish.
We are in the heart of Montgomery County, near Quince Orchard Rd. and Darnestown Rd.
We are NOT on a bus route.
