Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

OCTOBER 29, 2010

I would like to get better assignments, promoted, or get a raise before a few more years go by. How do I get a recommendation letter from my boss for a new job hunt without raising suspicion or improve my situation without my boss’ help? HR will usually call 2-3 people for a quick phone chat. Thank you so much.

So, some reasons why a previous assistant does not come with their boss are: 1) The boss moves to a new city/state and the previous assistant can’t come because they don’t want to/can’t move, the commute becomes too far, or they don’t want to work in the new office/environment. Job hunting and dating are very similar.

APRIL 4, 2013

I opened the phone book and signed up with every single one in town. That one unassuming, non-meaty, first temp gig got me my first CEO EA job and eventually my promotion to project manager down the road. Can you fit in a creative, free flowing environment or a structured corporate environment?
