I was out of work, temping here and there for a year. Try searching your name on the Internet and see what comes up. Don’t underestimate the value of temping.

Now's a great time to set a foundation and train your executive (if they are willing and learn to trust you) so a precedent can be set. Try to set up the communication of the office so your boss checks their own emails and responds, but you are in charge of all the mtg coordination, phones, and anything that happens in the office.

Would hate to pass up this leadership opportunity if it could mean progression for me in the future. Why do I bring this up?
