Wow, looks like some time has passed since I updated this blog. Well, I have been keeping busy with my job atJ.P. Schwartz, Inc.
I feel very blessed to work for such a great company. What makes it great is the atmosphere and the beliefs of the company. When I started working with J.P. Schwartz, nearly 4 years ago, I felt that there was a genuine concern from the owner, John Schwartz, to provide a good place for people to work, that he was fair and honest, and he wanted to create something special with his company and provide a unique blend of service and relationship to the clients.
In the time I have worked with J.P. Schwartz, Inc. I have been given opportunities to improve on the skills I already had, and learn many new things as well. I have had the flexibility of being a mom and having a good job at the same time thanks to the understanding of my boss and the importance put on family by J.P. Schwartz, Inc. I have met great people and made friends that I imagine I will have for life through being a part of a small company such as this. This type of company and management are priceless.
Recently I have been able to delve deeper into accounting roles with doing payroll and payroll taxes for the company. I have learned to take a decision making role for the company in many instances. I enjoy getting to blog and write for the company. I have also made great contacts and built relationships with some of our vendors as well.
I am finding my job to be rewarding and am excited to continue this journey with J.P. Schwartz, Inc.
Of course, I have to add a plug for the company :) If you are in the Denver area and own a small/medium size business, consider J.P. Schwartz for your I.T. needs, I really believe you will be impressed with not only the great service, but also the amazing people!

One Job Title, Many Positions
I was recently reminded that I should update this blog a little more frequently; and that some people are interested in how my job is going and what I have been up to.
As of today I have been with J.P. Schwartz, Inc. for about 9 months. I serve the title of Office Manager. I don't know that this title does my job justice, however. If I had to explain my job, I might say I am the go-to-gal, the Jill of all trades, that I wear many hats under one umbrella.
It is hard to explain exactly what I do to someone who asks, hoping for a short answer.
In a larger business you may have an HR Department, an Accounting Department, a person or group who handles your website development, a Sales and Marketing Department, and so on. Well, I do all of that on small scales for a small business. Here is an idea of some of the things I do for J.P. Schwartz, Inc.
Recently I had the pleasure of writing and running an add to hire a new employee. I then got to sort through hundreds of resumes as they came in, write interview questions for both phone and in person interviews, schedule interviews, and listen in on phone interviews. It was a fun process and we now have a new employee.
I also use Quickbooks on a regular basis to generate invoices and mail them to our customers.
I oversee partner and vendor relations. I do scheduling and customer relations tasks such as generating proposals for the client. I maintain our relationships with the BBB and the Chamber of Commerce by attending events they hold and networking with their members. I help with content, editing, and posting to our website, as well as monitoring our online presence. I do filing in the office and also electronically of all the business documents. Daily I monitor websites for project opportunities and subcontractor possibilities. I help with tracking and documenting of financial information. I use a program called Sales Force that is a CRM program, to manage leads, accounts, contacts, opportunities, and schedules; I had the honor of learning this program for our company, training both the owner and new employee to utilize it, and through some simple programing, customizing the program to fit our companies needs. I am being trained to do hardware ordering and procurement. In addition, from time to time, I get the opportunity to train on a technical area or skill that I did not have before, such as the sales of VMware, or Microsoft products. I even book hotel rooms and give directions when needed. There are not too many tasks that I don't do and I always enjoy a new challenge.
I really enjoy all aspects of my job and feel that this position will definitely provide me with a lot of experience to carry on into my future endeavors.
To top it off, I really enjoy my working environment, the flexibility for me to work from home most of the time, and the people I work with. Being a part of such a small company makes one feel more a part of that company and more interested personally in seeing the business succeed. I am ever grateful for this job and this experience.

My New Job with J.P. Schwartz Custom Network Design
Well, okay, it's not really new anymore; I am almost to my 90 day review!
I am the Office Manager for J.P. Schwartz Custom Network Design. I really love this job and I am so grateful for it.
J.P. Schwartz Custom Network Design works with businesses to help them to meet their business demands by designing, installing, or helping to maintain a secure and dependable communications network. Some of the things that the company does are custom network design, network services (such as configuration of the network), security services, server and workstation services.
I had the pleasure to meet the owner of the company, John Schwartz, on my 30th birthday at my interview. I was impressed by the professionalism and knowledge that he possessed and I still am.
As the Office Manager at J.P. Schwartz, Inc. my duties vary. I am so blessed to have found a job which allows me the flexibility to telecommute, to work flexible hours as needed, and puts a real value on family as well as work. I work from my home office 4 days per week and from the office of J.P. Schwartz one day per week. One of my main tasks right now focuses on marketing, however I also help with clerical and office tasks, tasks pertaining to our website, I help to manage contacts, partnerships, and vendor relations, among other things.
I have found this job to be rewarding for me. It is great to have a job that you can feel personally invested in and care about beyond just your paycheck. My last few job opportunities have been like that, and it is so much more fulfilling.
I really enjoy my days in office as well, being in the "work environment" is a nice change of pace once a week and working with John is always a pleasure.
I have found that the knowledge I have gained in the last few online personal assistant jobs I performed have been valuable in my new position and I am grateful for having had those opportunities.
If you should stumble upon this blog, and just happen to be needing some IT help in the Denver area, I couldn't recommend anyone better. And not just because I work for the company. There is a link on this blog to the J.P. Schwartz, Inc website, or you can always call their Office Manager, (that would be me :-) at 720-259-5365.
Run Wild!
