Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

MAY 16, 2012

Even though I am an EA with over 15 years of experience at the C-level, it seems that all the recruiting agencies I have approached still require an applicant to come in for an appointment to take their basic employment testing, and then only seem to be able to offer lower-level administrative jobs. It is ingrained in them.

I have tried to research what the next level(s) up is, I can't seem to find any information. Do you by chance know what it takes to get up there? Sincerely, Anonymous” Dear NK, Thank you for the great question and btw, your wording of it was great! :) No need for me to “pretty it up!” When you job hunt keep this in mind.

After only 2 weeks, I found a great company through a staffing agency and the position was full time working for a wonderful CEO. I did very well on my interviews and it's down to me and one other EA who already has a full time job. Many years ago, I was between jobs because I got laid off in a massive round at the company.

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. I opened the phone book and signed up with every single one in town. No hello, no trying to chat them up, or loiter to see if any celebrities were there.
