Default What chances does a guy have if he applies to a secretary position?

Do most people hire females over males in this job? Should I bother applying for it?

Most executives want someone who can do the job well--gender wouldn't matter. Some may actually prefer a male secretary.
Most secretaries used to be female because that was one of the only corporate jobs open to them.
I'm a librarian, and that was once a female-dominated field. That, too, is changing.

depends on which field your trying to enter

if a male is the ceo forget it

if a female is the ceo try it

or a totally male field like diesel tech repair or a dealership, heavy construction company or oversea shipping company

Since most people are becoming gay, it's likely your boss might be too. If that is the case you should be hired right away. But really, they aren't supposed to not hire you just because of your sex. But that doesn't mean they won't hire the hot chick over you. In fact you might be the only guy who applies which would make you stand out. If you think you can take all the jokes once your hired, then go for it.

Go ahead and apply. While they are rare, there are male secretaries, I went to college with one when I was getting my secretarial degree. And there are some business people who actually prefer men to women. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

yes you should, a secretary job is a job for anyone. Mind you being a secretary you will have to do some sexual favours for your boss but that is a small price to pay for a job...
