Funnily enough, everyone is really nice to me coz they know one word from me to the boss and they’re goners. 😏
Oh that’s great!!! I had that with my first boss at the company that I’m with (he left😭) but I don’t have a good relationship with my most recent boss and it makes it sooooo tough
This job seems good only if you have good bosses @sarahfost
Thanks for your wisdom and vulnerability in sharing, Sarah! Your video deserves to reach more people.👏👏👏
Another con would be the lack of career advancement. Being an EA is kind of a dead-end role and the work can be super overwhelming and underpaying considering all the work that you have to do. I worked as an EA for two years during college and the experience made me never want to go back again.
Have you ever thought of being a personal EA to a multi-billionaire who would treat you as the special person you are? Billionaires are looking for top notch intelligent people to manage their properties, vehicles, meetings, problems, service appointments, etc. Pay would be twice what you are currently making, plus a luxury car / suv, and possibly a place of residence if you become someone they can't survive without.
WOW? Any names????

@@esterindi3123 some ppl cant remember all of this n their head... some ppl have adhd like myself just trying 2 help...
The last point is of great benefit. I've been an EA for 5Months and I confirm it.
Hi Sarah. I’ve been a Management Assistant in an engineering department for 1 year and a half. I can agree with everything you are saying!! They treat me very well and I’m never spoken down to. Thank goodness for that. Your job duties sound like my job duties. By the end of the week I am stressed out. Thank you for this video
This was helpful and so accurate. Thank you!
I’m so glad!
Thank you for making this video, I’m doing the same thing, thinking of making the career change, mostoly because of the stable schedule.
Hoping the best for you!!! I was working crazy hours before switching over, definitely improved my quality of life!
@@sarahfost thank you so much 🙏🏼 can I ask you what would you recommend for me to start learning in preparation for an Admin job?, I live in FL and it’s been a bit hard to find any entry level Admin jobs.
This was super helpful. I’ve been applying as a chemist to get out the lab ( no real promotion and feeling stuck).
I worked as a front desk supervisor and I honestly loved it, but there was no money in it lol. I am applying for EA positions, I am excited
I would say that at least in the healthcare systems I've worked for, in order to apply for an EA position you must have a master's degree or a bachelor's and 10+ years of experience.
Oh wow! I work in the aerospace industry, but sometimes I truly think I got lucky
Could you recommend a good short online administrative assistant courses? That could give someone who is starting out an introduction to the field
Haha you're so pretty and positive. Thank you for the video. It was pleasant, crisp and informative. May success and prosperity attend you always. Regards from India.
I used to be an EA myself in the government. I learn a lot but I am transition back from the government to the private
good stuff
Hi Sarah, Im Renan from Dublin. You helped me a lot. Thank you.
Can you share tips on staying organized and just overall good in the role? Thanks!!
Of course I can!
Love your energy, new sub here❤
Thank you!🤩
you know for some people, it feels good that they are the only one who can put out the fire...
so, you said for the title as executive assistant you don't need a degree, but how much experience do you need to get this role
I am about to have a job like this. Could you tell me around how much money should I Accept?
It definitely varies on where you are. More than anything, I’d try and negotiate being salary vs hourly. Makes life a bit easier when you don’t have to punch a clock and can have a bit mor stability!
Thank you! What about EA at Mckensey?
@sarah fost, please how do you find jobs as an executive assistant ?
Hello kindly tell what is the step by step guide to become a Executive Assistant
Hello! I am considering becoming an EA. You said no college degree was needed. Just experience… are any certifications needed? What all do I need to know? If you already have this video I’m sorry. Thank you!!
Hi there! I don’t have an advanced degree or any certs, my background is in hospitality management. I capitalized on my management and organizational skills! How you interview is key as well, so practice practice practice!
@@sarahfost I already have a guaranteed job. And was told certain requirements but wanted to know from someone who has experience with that title what I should know. Do you need a lot of computer skills?
Thank you!

Which fields may a administrative officer / assistant change please?
Why did the other EA get fired please?
