The jokes, gossip, laughs, arguments, and memories I miss. For our interview, Ebert answered questions by email, his preferred manner of communicating—although he did love a stack of Post-it notes, the handy-dandy talking technique he used with his wife, his full-time home nurse and the good friends invited to their Chicago townhome.

I passed the HR interview and I am waiting for the answer from the CEO interview. I had 2 initial interviews or tests before I came down to meeting the CEO. Be willing to learn a lot, wear a lot of hats, not complain, and follow their lead. It’s best not to gossip or form secret alliances.

I had a big learning curve going into it and I didnt know any of the other assistants so I felt all alone with my challenges.
