Network as much as you can. Just in case in the future you decide you want to work for this company as an FTE. I had a contract role and really connected with my lead EA. When I started looking into an FTE role with the company she referred me for my current role. Referrals can go a long way for roles in bigger companies.

Thank you!!

I know this is am old post, but I wanted to say I was in that position. I went from a nonprofit to a for profit with zero similarities in the fields. I found that the years of experience as an AA plus having a degree helped land the job I got. A bachelors in business management goes a long way at aot of the higher paying jobs.

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm so excited, I have a recruiter call scheduled with @Meta for Administrative Partner position. I've been in my current employer role for 19 years and I'm nervous as heck. I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks
