Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

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.

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. Why be an EA?

I love doing informationals because I like learning about what people do, even if I am not in that industry, and perhaps get an office tour down the line, and make a new friend if they introduce me to someone else. They all have different clients and cater to different parts of the city or industries.

It’s a contradiction in that we want to use the vehicle to promote ourselves, but that same vehicle is used for piracy. Here’s your retirement cheque, go build your house, put in a pool, and stay with your girlfriend for the rest of your life,&# then I would probably kill myself. It’s funny. And I like me.
