AKA – Kiyomi’s 21-Step Job Hunt Strategy 1) Contact everyone you know in a personalized, positive, fun email When I first graduated college and whenever I am seeking new opportunities, I will literally email everyone I know.

I believe you can raise a family on an EA salary whether alone or with a significant other. You should have 3 savings accounts - retirement, rainy day, and emergency. Retirement is your 401k, CDs, cash, etc. Do a great job. And anyone can email me questions and I respond only via this blog, not to your personal address.

I make an incredible salary so when I tell my husband and friends I want to explore other avenues, they think I'm crazy. For any new readers, I will answer your entire email line by line and explain general information which may or may not apply to you, and give you some things to ponder. My boss seems oblivious. Many thanks!

I will answer your questions by addressing your entire email and I will answer from two perspectives - 1) I used to and still sometimes work in a recruiting capacity and 2) as a job applicant and EA. Because I knew nothing about the job except my title (EA) and the dept (I think it was in marketing). You can just write “Thx!”
