Having a job as an executive assistant can be easy work but it can also be very hard as some require you to be available after hours and during weekends. Gather a contact list of small business owners as well as bigger companies as they have many departments that consist of Vice Presidents, COO’s and CEO’s. If you get a call back make sure you respond as soon as possible as this will make you stand out and may be the key to locking you in. Although if you don’t hear from them after a week of your interview or application be sure to follow up and give them a call, don’t be too late in doing so, you want to be fresh in their mind.
