The Benefits of Appointing an EA from Outside Your Industry ✔️ Highly Motivated Applicants Candidates from outside your industry are often highly motivated to prove themselves. Many have invested in professional development, built networks, and actively seek opportunities in your field. As a recruiter, I value eagerness to learn and outperform over industry experience. Offering a chance to a motivated candidate often results in top performance and strong loyalty. ✔️ Fresh Perspectives Sticking to the same methods can limit growth. Introducing someone with a different background can bring fresh ideas and approaches. A new EA from outside your industry will challenge old processes, drive change, and introduce valuable knowledge to your organization. ✔️ New Expertise An executive assistant with a different industry background can bring unique expertise. For example, an EA from a regulated industry can be invaluable for teams handling legal documentation. Or, an EA with financial market experience can assist businesses that have recently listed, offering fresh insights and support. ✔️ Breaking Into New Markets If your company is looking to expand into new markets, hiring an EA with experience in those sectors can give you a competitive edge. Their industry contacts, knowledge of customers, and understanding of key stakeholders will save time, money, and effort in securing business. #freshview #outsideyourindustry #newindustry #changeisgood #topcandidates #EA #executiveassistants #highperforming #eajobs #melbourne #brisbane #altitudeea

Advice for #earlycareer folks: don't overlook temporary work. When I was in my 20's, I did so much temp work that my friends called me "the temp." After dropping out of college and moving back in with my parents, I signed up with an administrative staffing agency (OfficeTeam / Robert Half). I got work right away. It wasn't always great work, or work I enjoyed. It wasn't really what I wanted to be earning. But it was work. A few of my gigs included: - Receptionist at an Interior Design firm (maternity leave coverage) - Merchandizing support at the Hotel Del Coronado (summer rush) - Admin Assistant for a Construction Contractor (lots of filing) - Executive Assistant for an Investment Firm (temp to hire, but wasn't the right fit) - Admin Assistant for the Airport Authority. I ended up landing my first full-time job at that last one. Temp work was great for me, because I got to try out a bunch of different employers, use (and expand) key skill sets, and learn about different industries. When you work a temp position, especially a temp-to-hire, you get to try out an employer before you commit. You get a feel for company culture. And we all know that culture is important. Plus, the temp companies do a better job now of offering benefits, paid time off, and other perks that mirror those you'd receive as a full-time employee. AND -- for some companies, getting a temp job with them is the BEST way to be competitive as a candidate for when open positions pop up. They already know you, you've already added value. If you need a job ASAP, and haven't considered the #temp workforce -- do. Also a great strategy if you have no experience, and you need it to get a job. Temp work was my path to my first #qualityjob!

How do you assess attention to detail in the hiring process? 12 years ago, while running my very first Vector office in Conroe, TX, I needed to hire Recruiting Assistants/Receptionists. One of the main duties required being able to read a script and follow clear directions. As I made my job post, I added very specific instructions: - Apply to the job post (READ CAREFULLY) - Call my google number at XXX-XXX-XXXX - Leave a voicemail stating your name and phone number TWO TIMES From there, it was very easy to narrow my candidate pool. Today, I do something a little similar and add "If interested, please reach out to me at (email address) with (Job Title) in the subject line." It's a small thing, but with hundreds of applicants applying each week, prioritizing those who follow direction makes my job a little easier.
