Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

APRIL 4, 2013

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.

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?

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

JULY 8, 2016

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 get a mini break when our boss is traveling as the stress level is generally lower and we can catch up on our workload. A week or two ago, it was one of those weeks where my brain just felt tired.

I hated the mental stress and burden of putting everyone else first and getting only the usual thank you’s and words of appreciation. 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 also had to listen in interviews really well.
