I was interviewed earlier this month and so I pasted it below. Tell us your story on how you went from temping in LA to being the EA of high-profile CEOs.

Now, I think its time I gave some pointers to interviewers. Rules for being a good hiring manager/interviewer: 1. Have a system in place to acknowledge that youve received a resume and/or cover letter when they come flooding in. So, turn off your phone, your e-mail and put a "do not disturb" sign on your door.
