And so it begins. After a four year self-employment endeavor I am returning to the workforce. With life changes and the need for additional income I am search for a management or executive assistant level position.

There were great people and working wirh Juan Becerra was an incredible experience until he moved on. Supporting the Regional CIO was difficult at first because he was self-sufficient. It took some time but I truly enjoyed supporting him and his grouo.

I've been an Executive Admin in the real estate industry for 20 years. I was recently let go from a position since the real estate agent did not have enough volume. I've recently interviewed with two agents that are high producing. The first agent I interviewed with went very well, I was quite sure I would be offered a position. I was honest with her and let her know that I was interviewing with another agent, that I had previously had a phone interview with them and it went very well. I told her I would be going in for a face-to-face interview with this other agent but was quite sure he would be making me an offer as well. I was honest with both agents in that I told them about the other. Yesterday I received a good offer from the first agent along with a call from the other stating he would have an offer to me over the weekend. Both agents were also aware that I would not be making any decisions until the first part of next week as far as which one I would accept. My question is, I want to respond to the agent that sent me the offer yesterday, to thank her but I also feel like I should tell her that I am waiting for an offer from the other agent to be sent to me as well since we had really good communication. My husband on the other hand doesn't think I should share with her at this time that I'm waiting for the other offer. He says that she will immediately think I'm setting her up for a negotiation situation. There may be some truth to that, since I don't know where the offer will come in at BUT logistically the 2nd offer will be much closer to my home. Anyway, should I be honest with the other agent and let her know that I am anticipating that offer to come in before making a decision.

I have a question for you. I am currently working in a retail position due to a sudden end of contract executive assistant position in where my Officers were 1- let go and 2- relocated to Boston from California. I am applying for EA positions in my area, but my resume lists my current retail supervision position which is not relative to the work I am applying for.

Could I rearrange my experiences out of chronological order, in efforts to highlight my relative experience, or is that a critical resume faux pas?

Any advice that would help my resume stand out would be of great appreciation.

Thank you kindly for your time,

Dede Wynne Future EA!

A true statement and so well-written. Don't compromise on what you want (or don't want). This goes to the "settle for more" idea...
