Hello New & Returning Readers, About 2 years ago I wrote an in-depth post about how I jobhunt. Have more than one phone number and email address - Besides your personal cell number from your iPhone, get another free number just for jobhunting or work. If your job is in social media, that’s another story.
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. When you jobhunt keep this in mind. Work on your weaknesses.
I had always meant to do a post on job searching and so I figured, why not now? AKA – Kiyomi’s 21-Step JobHunt Strategy 1) Contact everyone you know in a personalized, positive, fun email When I first graduated college and whenever I am seeking new opportunities, I will literally email everyone I know.
After only 2 weeks, I found a great company through a staffing agency and the position was full time working for a wonderful CEO. I did very well on my interviews and it's down to me and one other EA who already has a full time job. Because I knew nothing about the job except my title (EA) and the dept (I think it was in marketing).
Even though I am an EA with over 15 years of experience at the C-level, it seems that all the recruiting agencies I have approached still require an applicant to come in for an appointment to take their basic employment testing, and then only seem to be able to offer lower-level administrative jobs.
I found every single one of my jobs through a temping agency or by referral. I learned through informational interviews that I should apply to temp agencies. That one unassuming, non-meaty, first temp gig got me my first CEO EA job and eventually my promotion to project manager down the road.
