Hi all! Has anyone had any luck finding a new job during this pandemic? I'm afraid I am about to be officially let go (was furloughed) and would like to start sending out my resume. Does anyone know of agencies that are currently hiring EAs/admins?

Ugh, @EA1 I'm so sorry to hear that.

I was close to final rounds with a company right before things got locked down. We put things on hold and the comoany has reached out a couple of times periodically to check in to see if I would still be interested when they're ready to re-start the hiring process. I'm not optimistic it will be soon, but I currently have a job, so I'm ok with it, even though I don't love my current job. I'm still looking for other things internally & externally, but agree that it's rough out there. And more broadly, the isolation of WFH when you live alone is killing me.

If anyone needs a friendly ear, feel free to DM me. Stay strong, everybody. 👩🏿‍🤝‍👩🏼

Update: Interviews back on with said company. Virtual interviews confirmed for next week. 😁

Nope. I’ve been unemployed since April. I’ve applied to no less than 500 positions (the majority likely phantom positions). Probably had ~50 screenings/interviews and I got a big fat goose egg. I’m in quite a lurch. With the federal unemployment coming to a screeching halt, I’m going to lose everything I’ve worked for- including my home. There’s no decent jobs out there. No good company is serious about hiring. Anyone I’ve spoken to that is actively hiring is not working at a good place, doesn’t value talent, doesn’t have a clear idea of their vision, has massive turnover, or is taking advantage of this to lowball by more than 20K. Also, nobody I’ve spoken to is interested in remote work until this passes. I have no intention in playing Russian Roulette with my life and actually care about my community and don’t want this pandemic to drag on longer than it already will be. Good luck to you! I wish I had a better experience to share.

Most agencies are laying off but don’t limit yourself. Healthcare and some other industries are starting to open up. But agree with EA1 that salaries have come down. My position is eliminated as of tomorrow. Someone will get me cheap.

I’m a mid-level Executive assistant with 6 years of experience and currently supporting 5 executives at a fortune 50 company. One C level and 4 Vice Presidents. I’m currently making $61,000 with bonus included. Based on my research I should at least be making $71,400. I have a check in with my boss tomorrow and I am asking for a raise.

The EA/Admin profession used to be a gateway for many people to get their foot in the door and grow into different career paths. For most organizations this is no longer the case. Do you see EA’s/Admins growing into different roles within your orgs? If so, what paths are taken? What steps are taken to get there? What I’d like to learn is whether our profession still has the capability to be a doorway or if others are seeing the same things I am; limited opportunities for development.
