Hi all, does anyone know of any recruiters or hiring managers that work in Affirm Inc. I've been applying for a couple of jobs with them . The role I have applied for I know lam a extraordinary fit for
100% and can help the company/ department succeed. I have a good deal of experience with this role and would love to talk to a recruiter or a hiring manager more about this. If anyone
could reach out to me if you have any information on that I would greatly appreciate it.

Yes, I was an EA for a company for about 8 years and I finally got my degree in June and my company promoted me to an HR manager…So worth it!
I have and do mentor many assistants and HR as a pathways always come up.
This is how that convo goes:
Me: Why are you interested in HR?
EA: I like people
Me: Then you’ll hate HR.
HR is the legal employment department set up to protect a company. No shade to them. But that’s their remit.
Assistants can be culture curators and keepers. We are engrained in the fabric of a company culture.
My next question is:
What are your motivators to climb that ladder? Money? Respect? Influence?
These can all be achieved in an admin/assistant role way beyond what most people can imagine. Especially if you are an EA or part of the Office of the CEO team. You are an executive productivity expert. A growth accelerator. A confidence and advisor. Many times for the highest level of employee.
If you are looking for new skills and to make yourself more profitable, I would look at Scrum and Agile Methodology training as a next step.
I would say certifications are probably better. You can still pivot
