Answering Reader Mail: How Long is it Fair to be a Temp for a Job?

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.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

JUNE 6, 2013

I've heard of EAs who are promoted to Operations or Facilities roles later on in their careers but at this point, I am playing both roles. EA work is typically admin work - phones, travels, calendars, expense reports, mtgs/luncheons, etc. Believe or not, a job well done actually leads to more work and often harder or better work.
