Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant
DECEMBER 18, 2013
The staffing agent asked if I was open to temp to perm, even though the position was for a full time EA, he feels the CEO may need time to see if it is a good fit. I have no idea how long "temp" is considered before they would offer the permanent position. It feels like a bait and switch and there are no guarantees.

Is it possible to get a list of attendee email addresses to network after the webinar? Private colleges may seem expensive but they offer many scholarships to help offset this cost. I obtained my 4-year Bachelor’s degree while temping as an AA and fell in love with my career. Is there funding out there for education? .

EA work is typically admin work - phones, travels, calendars, expense reports, mtgs/luncheons, etc. It also costs a lot to hire someone else because finding the time to find the right person and training them is expensive in energy, manpower, resources, and money. It’s because they trust you. You can just write “Thx!”

Believe it or not, while some EAs do hold tremendous power, because travel is a very expensive and uncomfortable aspect of business, many executives or companies are very specific on what is or isn't allowed and which airlines they will or won't fly. Then I call and email every vendor. Call every single temping agency in town.

Stay away from email! Stay away from email! Keep your current job, change your lifestyle, put away the money you save until you have some reserves Usually this involves moving to someplace less expensive (I've known people to sell their houses!) Speed is the enemy of many good things. On Justin Bieber. Quit your job.
