My partner has this idea that being an EA is easy and I CANNOT. He keeps applying for EA roles thinking without any experience he'll get hired. Should I just let him learn the hard way or try to explain to him how the ones who make it look easy, are the pros in experience and skills.

And keep us updated.

Unfortunately, people like him are everywhere. Have him keep applying and report back with an update.

Update: I know this is going to be petty but I decided to apply for all the roles he applied for that were an EA. I've received interviews for all of them and he has none 😆

Thank you for the update!!!!! This was better than expected! At this rate, you could accidentally end up finding a better job. Keep being petty!
