There are also sites for networking to keep your name out there. Employers may get to see a side of you other than what you put on your resume or present at the interview.

How you network, how you brand and sell yourself, and how amazing you are as an assistant all play a factor. For example, my boss would be a board member of another company or some personal events would overlap with networking. You can ask in the interview in a nice way. It's up to you to figure out how much of the role is what.
