Help.Have a great cv, work in employability (not the church side of the business) but want to get back to my “trade” as an Executive Assistant. I’m a young, vibrant 53 but feel my age is going against me. Can’t even get an interview. I could do the job standing on my head as I have first class organisational skills. I am on a great salary and when applications ask for this, I feel that’s my first hurdle as they are probably wanting to offer less. Any ideas? Applying on NHS as was there for 16yrs

Why do you think your age is working against you? Does your resume list every job you've held? Try listing the most recent 10-12 years. The resume is not an application, so that might help. Is there any way to use text in the box asking for salary? Maybe you could type "hourly" or "salaried" without using a number? If you have to use a number, make an explicit statement in your cover letter notifying that your salary is negotiable, based on the value you will bring to the new role, not based on previous salaries.

If I hear of anything…..

It feels like many EA jobs are consolidating/going away with AI. It may be helpful to look for jobs with similar skills that need the "human" touch" (maybe a household manager?) Good luck!

My company is hiring for an executive assistant. One position is located in MO and other one NY.

Hi,
I received an offer as Senior QA Engineer in Coforge. The offer mentions a hike of 30℅ from my current salary, no joining bonus and I'm assigned to band 3. There is also a mention of the probation period of 6 months. Can this be considered a good offer?
YOE: 6
No other offer in hand.
Please let me know whether I should go ahead with accepting the offer.

If you go for interview and you sort of know that the person interviewing you might be curious about something on your negative on your resume like why is there a gap or why were you in XX role for so long?

Do you address it pre-emptively? Or does that show insecurity and you leave the elephant in the room and wait till they ask you?

I guess this is more in the case of networking than interview like do you make your own story?
