Job Hunting Mentoring Phones Promotion 
Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant
OCTOBER 29, 2010

Successful executives are rarely lazy and slow if they earned their title from being promoted through hard work and not nepotism, etc. Don’t automatically assume because the package looks good or the job sounds great on paper you will like it. Job hunting and dating are very similar.
