Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

AUGUST 21, 2012

I thoroughly enjoy the diversity of these positions, the project management, and the role of admin support. Temp, volunteer, apply for PT work and list that as your present role. Craft your resume based on experience and skill set, not chronologically - and tell a different story. Cast a wider net and be flexible.

When we were a smaller agency, I was the EA and Office Manager for a smaller facility. I'm really interested in progressing and developing my skills but feel that managing the office is hindering my ability to focus on the core of being an EA. Something to think about is progressing and developing your skills.

Tell us your story on how you went from temping in LA to being the EA of high-profile CEOs. I found every single one of my jobs through a temping agency or by referral. But in reality – the most useful skill that opened a lot of doors for me were my soft skills. So I left that temp gig and went to work for the CEO.

9 times out of 10, whenever I need to take care of task, the first thing I do is Google it, look for it on Yelp, or look on LinkedIn. 1) Focus your resume on your skills/talents vs the job title/chronology. You want to highlight how similar your skill set is to what they are seeking. Call every single temping agency in town.

Other jobs, because they were temp to full time, I didn’t even have the benefits of paid vacation time or paid sick days for almost a year. It always perplexes me when small companies do not hire a temp or have in mind another staff person to fill in for the admin or EA to go on a vacation or call in sick. Look into it.
