Seeking better benefits; health, retirement, education assistance or flexible schedule. I needed health insurance and retirement opportunities and wanted to stay within the industry I had most of my career experience in. Be familiar with names of those interviewing you and department heads you’d work with. Changing career field.
Stand up for yourself more Assertiveness was never my strong suit, especially when I was younger. I remember one instance when I applied for a communications job and the male interviewer asked if I was pregnant or planning to have children soon. Today, I would have admonished the guy and abruptly ended the interview.
I would like to have been a primary school teacher, but now I would say retired!! Regarding training I would recommend every PA undertakes time management, assertiveness and minute taking courses. Do not put anything off until tomorrow wherever possible as you have no idea what tomorrow is going to throw at you!

In many cases, an employer will ask for your salary requirements upfront to gauge whether the interview process is worth their time. This is why it’s important to understand your salary needs—and be ready to defend your request— before the first interview.
