  • 37% of EAs said their relationship with their boss was a partnership. 
  • 71% said professionalism helped them succeed and what they said and did was seen by others as a reflection of their executive.

What To Do When You Feel Unappreciated

It is a cold, hard truth that individuals who fill administrative roles are superbly underappreciated. Sadly, even the "best" bosses may neglect to praise, thank, or acknowledge their assistant for their work from time to time. When you feel unappreciated, it's easy to fall into an unproductive spiral.  Do not sabotage your career in this way.  

 

 
How to Nail the Interview

Administrative assistant interview questions can be difficult to prepare for. It's important to be prepared for all kinds of questions, whether you're answering phone interview questions, in-person, or filling out a questionnaire as part of an application. Understanding the types of questions that can be asked in different situations, and how to handle each one can help you nail the administrative assistant interview.
