Hi. Do any of you executive assistants have company cell phones? Where I currently work, we're not required to have them, but I'm interviewing at other companies, such as banking and the EA's are required to have them. Is this a sign that the executives will be texting and calling all hours of the day??
Good afternoon, I'm curious how many of you like myself feel lost after posting here. I do not seem to receive feedback to many of my posts. A lost of us are seeking to hear from others who presently work at organizations to get feedback on culture, pay, benefits etc. and it seems many posts go unanswered. I imagine this a very large base of individuals for this bowl so I would hope others would share and respond. Thank you.
Recently I went for an EA role and got positive feedback from the first stage. In the chemistry chat with the exec, I was asked about my long-term goals. I said I love being an EA but would like to grow into a Chief of Staff or operational lead role over time. I was later told they went with someone else as I seemed “too ambitious” and might get bored. It feels ridiculous to be not hired for wanting to grow within a company, to me that’s a green flag, not a red flag. Has this happened to anyone?
