I had a few jobs where I would write content for marketing material and I think doing this meant I could use some of my creative skills at work. But I do wonder how many of us actually take the time to develop our skills because we don’t think we are worth the cost to the employer. That inspires me to write this free blog!

This is where an assistant network can come in handy. I often reach out to my network to get answers to problems that come up at the office or just to lend a sympathetic ear. When you leave a job, you dont have to leave your network behind. Having the opportunity to hash it out with another assistant is a great resource.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

JUNE 21, 2012

I started out as a temp and figured I’d pay my dues, network, and hop to another company or department. You are reliable, trustworthy, and don’t gossip. People want to work with people they like being around who have the basic skills versus someone who is brilliant at their job, but grumpy, mean, or not a good fit for the department.

Although I did have the skills and experience, I wasnt sure employers would view the move as a social disconnect. I feel as if I have created a historic moment within the company, by (most likely) becoming its first male administrative assistant.
