After giving notice, and thinking now that it wasn't perhaps the best time for clarity or objectivity, I dusted off my resume, added my now former role, and began applying to likely-sounding prospects. Bear in mind, I had been recruited or referred into my past couple of roles, so my resume hadn't been top of mind for a while.

Tailor your covering letter and CV. I’ve written posts on both covering letters and resumes so all I would add here is that you should tailor your CV and covering letter for each of the jobs you are applying for. Working with recruitment agencies. Interview them too.

The first step on the long walk to a new job should always be a good CV, obviously the detail in your CV reflects your experience but a well laid out and readable resume will help you stand out from the crowd (and thrust me these days there is a crowd). Don’t repeat yourself. Last but not least your CV should be no longer than 2 pages, ever!

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

OCTOBER 1, 2012

I work at a travel and event planning agency. Most large companies have in house travel department or a pre-approved vendor and agency list. For event planning needs, the EA, admin assts, HR, and Facilties and Operations usually chip in and help. And as an event planner and EA myself, I will remember that venue.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

I found every single one of my jobs through a temping agency or by referral. I learned through informational interviews that I should apply to temp agencies. The important thing I learned is, he’s an event planner, he hosts parties, he meets lots of people, and to him, the fact that I sent a thank you card said something about me.
