Honestly … redo your resume (I paid to have mine done and it was the best 170$ I have ever spent) and just apply to EA roles! Don’t overthink it!! But also, don’t get so hung up on the title of EA, I have applied to “Admin Assistant” roles that are paying 100k base. It’s really about your skills , your personality, willingness to learn and of course, more $ lol!
Remember, no1 is going to advocate for you better than YOU!

Omg share who you used to redo your resume. That’s amazing!

I agree with the above comment! My experience as an EA has made me realize how ambiguous titles can be. Read the job descriptions carefully to get an understanding of the role. Two EA’s can have totally different responsibilities depending on the company!

Would be interested to read other comments. Indeed sometimes titles don’t add up but curious to read how to make a real transition in skills to a more impactful function (EA or whatever the title is)

I'm so frustrated. I've been working for 10 years and I can't get an interview for Senior AD roles, but I get tons of enthusiastic calls for Intermediate ones. Im doing the work of a senior now - concepting alone, working direct with clients, guiding the odd junior - and I do a lot of stuff for the community at large that shows leadership (like conference stuff).

I've had CDs review my book and they say my work is great. Why can't I land a senior job? I want to manage, I have good ideas. WTF?

I have an interesting one. I recently was hired (temp-to-perm) for a leading tech industry hardware manufacturer in TA.

It has a senior title, but is essentially a process admin role (as are all my peers in a similar title / level.) The company HAS converted nearly every person that got thru their trial, but it's mindless. Yet it's the most money I have ever made. It's WFH.

What would you do? Mindless big check, zero benefit to career or start looking?
