The goal is to go from a busy role to one that is absolutely crazy insane busy and stressful to prove you can do it. The point is to assist them but not just pick up their drying cleaning and walk their dog, but to manage their life and schedule as close to a regular EA job.

I knew I didn’t want to job hunt for more than 6-9 months if I didn’t have to. And as I was working, job hunting and/or temping, I had to find other sources of happiness. So I read a lot about happiness, job hunting, and a meaningful life. I’m not sure how your job hunting experience was.
