Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

SEPTEMBER 11, 2012

When you interview for new jobs, do your yearly job performance reviews, network, or whenever appropriate, make it clear you have bigger goals. 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.

I was interviewed earlier this month and so I pasted it below. Tell us your story on how you went from temping in LA to being the EA of high-profile CEOs. When people would ask me in interviews, my first answer was, “No nepotism here!” I found every single one of my jobs through a temping agency or by referral.

I was stressed out from the pace of work and also the length of a couple of special projects with a long lead time. 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.

On The Job

JULY 10, 2009

Now, I think its time I gave some pointers to interviewers. Rules for being a good hiring manager/interviewer: 1. Dont invite someone for an interview and then show them to an office that looks like a landfill and hasnt had an uncluttered chair since 1995. What are some other rules interviewers should follow?
