When you interview for new jobs, do your yearly job performance reviews, network, or whenever appropriate, make it clear you have bigger goals. State you’d love to be an EA and learn so much you can be promoted to coordinator, director, manager. State in 5 or 10 years you’d like to be VP of a division. Work on your weaknesses.

I was interviewed earlier this month and so I pasted it below. Tell us your story on how you went from temping in LA to being the EA of high-profile CEOs. When people would ask me in interviews, my first answer was, “No nepotism here!” I found every single one of my jobs through a temping agency or by referral.
