Assistant to the president and CEO

Oklahoma City OK

Description

As the title suggest… You will be assisting the president and CEO of this local landscape design company. You will be that go to person. The fixer the reality maker. An idea is nothing more than a dream unless it’s seen to fruition. You will be the fruitionist. There is not even a word for that… Yet. In the high-stakes world of landscaping where dreams can be crushed by the hour in a maddening attempt to create the next big thing people are talking about/looking at. You’ll have to be self motivated. A self starter.The kind of person that doesn’t have to be told twice. Even if you’re needing 2 of the same thing. Should we need 20 of one thing ?… Let’s noteven go there.This person will know what is meant, needed and the most efficient rout to achieve it. If you like And understand that the creative process can be a little like a beetle trying to give birth to a baby elephant.… In the rough and tumble world of creating pretty it can get a little ugly at times. Anything worth value, It appears, doesn’t come easy. If your feathers get ruffled easily you may want to pass on this post and search for one in the High Fashion industry where ruffled feathers are always in style and considered an asset.Don’t think because were a landscape company that we don’t appreciate fashion. We think it’s fashionable to be on time. We believe it’s extreamly in voage to posses an Impeccable work ethic. Speaking of high fashion…showing up high,fashionably late, Better mean you had to find a parking space for your helicopter or the giraffe you road in on still isn’t grasping the word duck. We are no dummies, The likelihood of either of those happening a second time is … Thursday or Friday.We will expect you to have your own transportation… whatever that might be,as long as it’s on time,reliable and doesn’t poop on my lawn. We are a little jaded.Admittedly,playing the labor game for these number of years, We’ve seen it all and heard it all.A word to the wise:Expecting sympathy, understanding and compassion from someone arriving late and clearly not suitedFor this labor-intensive work, Does not make us heartless monsters with unrealistic expectations when we have to pass. We drive a truck not a Hearst. If we have to stop every 10 minutes for you to take 15 minutes to catch your breath DURING THE DRIVE to the job site.our response is it makes you a selfish liar.One hint we have been missed lead about your love and familiarity With the landscape industry(And a hint that the bottom is about ready to fall out )is if /when you should refer to a wheel barrel as that contraption. One must be honest with themselves and their abilities. We’re no different. We,too,had to be honest with ourselves. Our love of travel, meeting new people and learning about their cities their cultures but born with a poor sense of direction did not make good bedfellows. What started out as a two hour chartered bus ride/guided tour of our great city,more often than not, ended up stranded on a dirt road in Kansas Called Gilligans way with The captain, The professor and Marrian,ginger,the movie star, The millionaire and his wife. We were fired from every tour bus driving gig we could land. So when Ourpoor sense of direction didn’t allow for a change of scenery( that ended well )we were forced to compromise and went into a career that allowed us To change the scenery But not the roads. (if you were born after 1990 google or YouTube Gilligans island or ask your parents or grandparents). Please leave your name and number if we’re unable to answer the phone. It wouldn’t hurt to leave a brief message introducing yourself and a little bit about your work background. It’s best to have a 405 area code those calls will be taken first. The short gig this could go longer if it’s a good match. Thanks for your interest 405-408-5089
