Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

DECEMBER 18, 2013

I did very well on my interviews and it's down to me and one other EA who already has a full time job. 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. How long do you think is fair? This can be taken in one of two ways.

I mentored other younger assistants. I started this blog while temping/job hunting and I was allowed to write or do personal side projects as long as it was not interfering with my work. I will find a job with a boss that is humble and smart and a team that is friendly and kind. I also had to listen in interviews really well.

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.
