This is my first admin job supporting a mid-level executive. I love working in admin, but I have been stuck in this dead end job for more than a few years now without a raise. I also haven’t been growing or learning anything new since Day 1 because my boss won’t give me projects. Happy job hunting and keep me posted!

Hello New & Returning Readers, About 2 years ago I wrote an in-depth post about how I job hunt. Have more than one phone number and email address - Besides your personal cell number from your iPhone, get another free number just for job hunting or work. So I figured, now would be a good time for part 2.

Or, I see people in mid-career who believe in this bad job market they are "stuck" in jobs that cause them to lose sleep and snap at their kids when they get home at night. Even some college graduates who cant get a job have lost confidence in their abilities, believing they have nothing special to offer employers.

While your ultimate goal is FT job in admin, the only thing that will get you there is recent experience in admin - the good ol' fashioned catch-22. So, it's best to search for temporary, short-term admin work via temping, volunteering, applying for part time work so you have something to put on your resume.

I also knew everything I was feeling was very true for me, but also confusing because if my boss didn’t need me, I wouldn’t have a job, I wouldn’t get a paycheck, and I wouldn’t have all this experience to put on my resume. How did I learn this? I learned I need a vacation ASAP. I love being an EA.

Roberta, Hopefully, everyone -- no matter the age -- will learn important lessons such as being more resourceful, networking and being resilient. We can learn so much from history, but as soon as things start to do well again, we seem to forget everything we learned. At least they will be that way for a couple of years!

Your resume should always be able to reflect that you’ve kept up on the latest training and skills. Always look for ways to expand your horizons and be able to show an employer how you faced a challenge and learned. Update (or build) your resume. After that, I realized finding a mentor is definitely one of my goals for 2010.

If I had more work to do and would be learning along the way, I would stay. I knew I didn’t want to job hunt for more than 6-9 months if I didn’t have to. It also looks bad on one’s resume. And as I was working, job hunting and/or temping, I had to find other sources of happiness. Many thanks!
