It's really tough. Even with experience it seems like nothing is enough for these employers! Makes you wonder what is it that they are really looking for? Hang in there, sending you wishes of good luck!

Since I have transferable skills from sales. I thought it would be easier to transition into administrative assistant roles.

I've been in a similar boat, applying like crazy and getting no responses or follow-ups. One thing that helped me was being more specific with my search criteria and tailoring my resume for each job. It’s rough, but don’t give up, something will come through! That's what I'm telling myself anyway

Its definitely a tough job market. Seems like I get interviews but not for the jobs I really want. I don’t want to settle for anything because I want to enjoy going to work but I may have no choice, I have been laid off since February. Hope

I’m not sure if this makes me feel any better. I’ve been in the same boat since Nov 2024. I’ve applied to over 300 jobs, some I’m not totally qualified for but figured at this point just give it a shot & some I’m so over qualified for (been office manager/admin assistant for over 10 years & other work experience/history for over 20 years total) & STILL get the ‘they went with someone more qualified’ emails!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Who else started with small businesses and moved up to medium and large at agencies structured to handle it? I handle 40 clients and some 60 Content managers, ad managers, designers, developers, and a smattering of other positions.

Is there such a thing as getting promoted TOO quickly? Just got the bump to AS after 10 months as an AE. Not at all typical at my agency (usually 5 to 8 YOE). I picked up a lot of opportunity after turnover last year. I am, of course, thrilled, but do wonder if it'd put the validity of my agency in question when looking at my resume. Am I crazy? I'm probably crazy.

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!
