Thank you so much for taking up this blog. Six of these years were at a small, personal services start up, that I sold profitably, and the remaining four years were as admin support at two small businesses. Well, the educational field is dismal and I've given up on the teaching career. This experience spanned from 1997 to 2010.

xo, Melissa I very recently made the decision to leave a role without another one lined up. He asked me if I was open to hearing his recommendations on how to tighten the resume up so it would be more effective and attract more response. If you haven't done so yet, follow her on LinkedIn ! You are welcome!

The next step is to jump industries and focus on the creative. If you’ve worked for the top dog at the equity firm and have a lot of experience, it’s usually understood that you are so talented you can work in any industry. It’s great you are already an EA from a reputable company.

The higher up you go on the ladder of admin roles, the longer your job hunt will take. Even if you aren't that aggressive in marketing yourself while you have a job, it's likely that previous companies that interviewed you or HR people that you knew will remember you and keep you in their database. Your job hunt will take a lot longer.

First, what you have been up to recently that is exciting, fun or new, why and what sort of job you are looking for, and your contact information and an online link to your resume or a social media profile (more on this later). It is a way to catch up and keep the doors of communication open. And then share 3 things about yourself.

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.
