1. I work for a training company and the qualifications sound exactly like the people we hire for administrative staff. However, it's weird they're looking for someone to manage the office but say this: "If you’re looking for flexible hours, full or part-time, and the opportunity for advancement, this could be the position for you." It's just a little weird though. I would probably reply because it looks legitimate other than that.
2. Sounds Credible - what harm would it do to apply? If it is not credible as some point they will ask you to send them money! Don't do that.
3. It certainly does not appear to be a scam. I don't think a scam would take this much time to be so detailed in the duties.
4. Nothing overtly suspicious about it. If anything raises my eyebrows it is that they expect a lot from someone that does not need experience. On the other hand, it probably means that all of those responsibilities will not come on the first day, as they say they are willing to train the applicant.
5. Sounds credible make sure you make a note if they contact you that it's an office like building and time of interview I once responded to a post and the interview was at 4:45 on a friday and the ad was for a manufacturing company and when I pulled up the interviewers name and company it was photography studio so yea go figure just do research but it sounds likely. I didnt go to the interview by the way.
6. Sounds creditable, unless they stated to pay your $100,000.
7. looks like a real job. send in your resume. add a few of the items in their want add to your resume.
8. It doesn't look like a scam, so go for it
