I thoroughly enjoy the diversity of these positions, the project management, and the role of admin support. Temp, volunteer, apply for PT work and list that as your present role. Through volunteering, you can network and keep your pulse on the industry of your choosing. This experience spanned from 1997 to 2010.

I like many aspects of my job, but the most important thing for me is working for the right company, in the right industry and with the potential for growth, and my current position offers none of those things. The shortest route is to look for temp work thru agencies or TaskRabbit, Craiglist, or volunteer.

The most important thing is to take action and do something different so you can get promoted, get better tasks, that raise, or transition to a different role, dept, company, or industry. 3) Work for a bigger company in a smaller role. So to get to that place, you need to work for a bigger company.

I genuinely love the company I work for and have a great relationship with my executive. When we were a smaller agency, I was the EA and Office Manager for a smaller facility. That is the only thing that is different between a regular admin/EA and one that works for a Fortune 500 company. Paying dues is worth it for a reason.

Tell us your story on how you went from temping in LA to being the EA of high-profile CEOs. I found every single one of my jobs through a temping agency or by referral. I learned through informational interviews that I should apply to temp agencies. So I left that temp gig and went to work for the CEO.

What would happen if you worked at a small company where there was no one to cover for you? We also got 2 floating/personal holidays, about 3-10 sick days, and also working in the entertainment industry, most places shut down for the last 10-14 days of the year. During the interview process ask about the company culture.
