What its Life to be an Executive Assistant?
I am an EA for more than 10 years already, and yes it’s nice, fun and stressful to be an EA especially if you are really working with the big bosses. But there will be a lot of perks once you gained the trust and respect of your superior.
My current job is Executive Assistant to the President of the company and to his wife who is the VP for admin and finance, if you are asking me if it is stressful yes definitely I have to be 24/7 available for him.
Working with my boss for 7 years now, we are already comfortable working with each other, it’s a love and hate working relationship. The good thing is he knows how to value my presence and importance to him.
Let me share with you what is Life to Be an Effective Executive Assistant
