The fact they still call them secretaries in the UK it’s pretty sad

But aren't we secretaries? Am just trying to understand what is wrong with "secretary"
Some EAs even get offended when you refer to them as "paraproffessionals"

Or executive concierges! Secretary is ok with me.

EA’s in Europe do not function the same as in the US. Different office culture. The European ones I know still deliver coffee to their partners, etc. Also, we use EYHELP3 for IT support. In Europe they get hands-on IT support. Again, different office cultures. And I wouldn’t be worried about things beyond your control. Roll with the punches. If you worked for any time for a big four firm, you can find a job anywhere.

So, I fucked up a bit. Was interviewing with the recruiter and they asked me my rate — I went low as I had a number for a senior role. The problem was I forgot in the beginning of the meeting it was mentioned this was an ACD role. Can I go back to them with a more appropriate number for the role should I get the offer?

As an EA, we do everything under the sun for our execs, when it comes to them being out of the office and staying productive, what are some things you work on or take control of?
I am noticing more and more that I do not have as much work when my exec is out of town and I want to be more productive. A little downtime is nice, but I basically had my entire day to myself today and I feel like I wasn't very productive. Looking to STAY busy and be MORE productive.

Has anyone ever worked with BairesDev? Can you share you experience with me? I received an email where they sent me a link to take a test on a Friday afternoon and I had a packed weekend and did not take it until late Monday . The original job posting was already taken down by then. The required quiz was fairly straightforward but the other quizzes felt like LSAT questions where I had to diagram word problems, which I liked but wondered why I was answering these. Any success stories out there?
