It began several years ago when I started working for Mr. H as a temp. It took time, effort, mistakes and a lot of painful focus to learn and ultimately, I was successful. He asked me to find a location, negotiate a lease, remodel the space if needed and take care of all interior decorating and procurement. Negotiators.

The staffing agent asked if I was open to temp to perm, even though the position was for a full time EA, he feels the CEO may need time to see if it is a good fit. I have no idea how long "temp" is considered before they would offer the permanent position. Thanks again for all your informative blogs!!! What did they learn?

If you don’t have those basics down, it’s not really something you can learn well enough to truly change the trajectory of your career in a reasonable amount of time. I admit I have no information about you, your department or company; I only have what you wrote in your question. Paying dues is worth it for a reason.
