New titles, salary levels, and career planning will be coming in this decade like we have never seen. I have to be honest in that I have heard some unhappy stories from APs this year who have lost their jobs or are being replaced by temps on a regular basis! Don't be so full of yourself that you think you can't learn or grow.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

SEPTEMBER 11, 2012

I have heard of EAs working for successful international corporations and earning a very large salary. Take personality tests, read books, talk to people. If you’ve decided you want to be an EA or have a career that leads to a great salary, it all starts with growth. Do you by chance know what it takes to get up there?

The staffing agent asked if I was open to temp to perm, even though the position was for a full time EA, he feels the CEO may need time to see if it is a good fit. I have no idea how long "temp" is considered before they would offer the permanent position. What did they learn? How long do you think is fair?

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

Whenever I meet people for coffee or a meal, I am always interested to learn about them as a person and their work. I love doing informationals because I like learning about what people do, even if I am not in that industry, and perhaps get an office tour down the line, and make a new friend if they introduce me to someone else.

I make an incredible salary so when I tell my husband and friends I want to explore other avenues, they think I'm crazy. If I had more work to do and would be learning along the way, I would stay. And as I was working, job hunting and/or temping, I had to find other sources of happiness. My boss seems oblivious. Many thanks!
