“We have a whole generation of millennials and college grads who have come out of college seeing how their parents were perhaps treated in 2008 and are choosing income security over job security” by freelancing, temping and so forth. It’s more important to be employable than, maybe, to be employed full-time.”.

When I got in my car at the end of a workday, the temp was reading 116. Like many of you (who don't live in Vegas), we travel from air conditioned home to air conditioned cars to air conditioned offices. This is the time of year when, for those of us living in Las Vegas, we experience intense heat.

I work at a travel and event planning agency. We are a great resource for Executive Assistants (we have several that we work with currently) booking high level travel globally but I am having trouble reaching out to the right people. Most large companies have in house travel department or a pre-approved vendor and agency list.

The reality of being an EA is that while the phones, calendar, and travel are essentially the same in every office your boss and your team are always unique people with their own work styles and needs. I mention how I worked for all my CEOs because I was recruited away as a temp.

The company will ask that you charge everything from business travel to catered lunches on your credit card and they will reimburse you.

As you are job hunting, think hard about if you want to temp, freelance, do contract work, temp-to-hire, or direct hire roles only and under which circumstance. And because executives are constantly traveling for weeks at a time, it may take a month or three just to finally meet everyone. Job hunt with focus. Everyone is busy.

The shortest route is to look for temp work thru agencies or TaskRabbit, Craiglist, or volunteer. Will you be humble enough to take direction and do minor tasks like get coffee, scheduling, and travel? Your best bet is to get some experience in admin and being an EA thru temping or other contract work. 2) How manageable are you?

For most administrative professionals, the majority of our roles contain functions that recur, such as calendar management, expense reporting and travel arrangements. Bracket your recurring functions - I came up with this idea on my own, after running it by my very intelligent adult son and my engineer, linear-brained husband.

We also get a mini break when our boss is traveling as the stress level is generally lower and we can catch up on our workload. 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. During the interview process ask about the company culture.

The point of the above exercise is to figure out if the solution is something that can be fixed with a little action/daily maintenance (go on vacation, take better care of yourself, respectively) or will take long term planning and goals/strategy (move closer to family or save enough money to travel for a year).

You answer the phone, book travel, offer beverages to guests, book meetings, prepare the conference room, order food, etc. If you are out sick, a temp will have to sub for you.

Recently, a temp worker at my job gave me another Google tip. Finally, I asked her how she knew the answers and what was she doing to get the information? It was then she introduced me to Google. I have loved it ever since and that is when my list of handy Favourites was born. Google has an information line ( 1 800 466 4411 ).
