Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

JUNE 13, 2011

Lately I've been poking around online trying to see what else is out there for self-branding and job hunting. I enjoy doing this and it helps when I volunteer or make suggestions to those I'm mentoring or friends who ask me questions. It is a site and free service to tweet out your full resume. Pretty cool, eh?

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. Happy job hunting and keep me posted!

Are you looking for networking advice, job hunting advice, resume services, interview prep, career navigation, LinkedIn self branding, or getting mentored about career/life? The good ones will ask on the phone when a phone interview starts if it is still a good time to talk.

Hochwarter over the phone. I've also interviewed people who are like deer frozen in the headlights, refusing to retrain in a dead-end profession or just sending out resumes to big job boards. Let's just hope everyone gets the message that this isn't the same old, same old job market. Keep up the good work!

Your resume should always be able to reflect that you’ve kept up on the latest training and skills. 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. Pick up the phone. Use your personal cell phone out of earshot of others.

Your termination is more “in the past” than being the focal point of your resume because your first job description will be the temping stuff. You wrote, “I did very well on my interviews and it's down to me and one other EA who already has a full time job.” I’m sure they have received a lot of resumes.

I opened the phone book and signed up with every single one in town. Any recruiter who sees your resume will silently wonder the following questions. Whether based on your cover letter or resume, recruiters only take 6 seconds to see if you are match. If the fit isn’t close enough, they toss or file your resume.
