The days of working completely remote, I fear, are coming to an end. I would suggest starting in an entry level type role with a company and then doing some networking as well as taking some trainings. I would try find training that offers certifications so that you can use that in place of the experience you lack and in addition to the experiences you already possess. There are also companies that post for remote / virtual work although most of those tend to be temporary / contract work and/or scams.

You just start applying. It is all about how you word your resume. I would suggest having it professionally optimized so it matches the job secriptions of jobs you are applying for.

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
