Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

OCTOBER 29, 2010

How do I get a recommendation letter from my boss for a new job hunt without raising suspicion or improve my situation without my boss’ help? It’s such a shame that there aren’t more managers who are good mentors that help each individual grow and learn more in their roles. HR will usually call 2-3 people for a quick phone chat.

Find a mentor. Ask someone you respect and feel you really connect with for feedback on what you’re doing with your career or in your job. Or, you can ask a professional organization about helping you find a mentor who can help guide you through some career issues. Pick up the phone. Bring sanity to your schedule.

And I had a lot of temp work coming my way, I had a lot of interviews about to be booked, I had just started my job hunt, and I had so many unanswered questions. So why forego a full time job for a 2 year trial?

Roberta, Hopefully, everyone -- no matter the age -- will learn important lessons such as being more resourceful, networking and being resilient. Hochwarter over the phone. And I do understand that money does not buy happiness, etc etc, but we do heroes, mentors and models of good behavior. I would love to see it myself.
