I am a recent graduate, I work as an Admin Assistant remote at the CEO office of a tech company. It is a high demanding area which I was aware of before I started.
The issue I'm having is that I graduated of English Linguistics major, with no experience, business insights, or special talent (In business and tech)
I've been promised training and dev by the company but it's been 7 months without any.
Please help a sis here, what things should I self learn, and what fields can I get into after AA

You’re already killing it by surviving 7 months in a high-demand CEO office. Start with project management tools like Asana, basic data tools, and communication platforms to get used to the etiquette. You've got opportunities in operations or product support. Roles that value organization and cross-team flow. You’ve got more experience than you think.

I have already started working on Clickup as a project management tool, and the company has its own communication platforms. Your advice is much appreciated though, I will start looking into operations and product support.

Nothing more frustrating to me than a company telling me they offer opportunities like that just to not receive any. Some things you could look into transitioning to are project management or coordination, operations, people ops. I’d try to narrow it down into what you might like and then pick from there what courses/certs to take.

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?
