Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

DECEMBER 18, 2013

After only 2 weeks, I found a great company through a staffing agency and the position was full time working for a wonderful CEO. I did very well on my interviews and it's down to me and one other EA who already has a full time job. I have no idea how long "temp" is considered before they would offer the permanent position.

You have to show your executive and business owner how investing in your development will benefit them or the company. All the more reason you have to show your executive the benefits you will drive; the benefits your executive will derive from sending you and how the company will benefit. It can be a very hard sell.

Prior to this role, I supported 4 Executives at a Security company for 8 years and loved it but they relocated the division to another city so that's how I ended up where I am currently. I knew I didn’t want to job hunt for more than 6-9 months if I didn’t have to. I’m not sure how your job hunting experience was.

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.

I have developed both a great professional relationship and personal friendship with my boss and have enjoyed working with him and the company. He's expressed his appreciation for my hard work and his desire for me to move up in the company once I've decided where I want to be, which I am still figuring out. I love being an EA.

Q: You mentioned being headhunted consistently by Fortune 500 companies. A: I do agree doing all those basic employment tests are a drag, but companies still feel it's safe to do it and a good way to weed out candidates. They also take into consideration which C-Level executive you assisted and at which company.
