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. If possible, train your boss to cc you whenever something needs to be handled and clue you in on conversations so you have somewhat of an idea of what is going on. You ask a very good question!

I was out of work, temping here and there for a year. Don’t underestimate the value of temping. Working for a temp agency can either land you a full-time job or help to keep you employed while you are looking. Taking on temp jobs will introduce you to potential employers where you can showcase your abilities.

I knew I didn’t want to job hunt for more than 6-9 months if I didn’t have to.
