How do I set myself up for success in the first 30 days of my new EA role? What questions should I be asking? How often should I be meeting with my executive? 2-3 times a week or daily morning touch base calls?

My suggestion would be to meet with your exec and ask what they want as far as meeting frequency. Don’t be afraid to ask the question “how can I best assist you” to understand priorities from their perspective. They are your client so it’s important for you to understand their needs to ensure your support is impactful.

I also suggest coming up with a “preferences” document for you to ask questions related to travel, meetings, expenses and other items you will assist with so you don’t have to piecemeal the questions and interrupt them frequently.

like

Preferred airline, seating preference (aisle, window, business)
Rental car type and company
Meeting frequency/method (in person, phone, zoom/teams)
Preferred days/times for scheduled meetings with others
Does anyone have priority during do not disturb time

I’m not sure what industry or role description you were provided but these are some general ideas. Hope it’s helpful!

Ask them how they prefer you to communicate with them, especially if you’re remote. Email, text, Slack, and when to use them (eg only text if it’s urgent?).

Interview question: had a great interview with the cmo of a brand I’m really excited about for an ECD role. She mentioned there was a take home assignment, which usually is a dealbreaker for me but I want the gig. The hr person sends it to me, and it’s not one but TWO Full 360 campaigns, one brand one product. I’m currently still full time at an agency working insane hours (hence the desire to escape).anyone know the play here? Do I STFU and figure out how to get it done? Can I push back? HLP!
