Growing company...

Ever seen a job title that looked more like a superhero alias? 🦸♂️ I know you have, maybe you have had a title like it. Remember when "Manager" meant something? Now it's a pre/suf-fix for everything. Actually let's just go for "Director" instantly. Or "𝘕𝘪𝘯𝘫𝘢", "𝘙𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳", "𝘞𝘪𝘻𝘻𝘢𝘳𝘥",... - Sandwich Artist (Subway Employee)* - Director of First Impressions (Receptionist)* - Underwater Ceramic Technician (Dishwasher)* - Refreshments and Nutrition Supervisor (Cafeteria Worker)* - Chief [insert fancy word] Officer It's like we're playing a game of title inflation. 📈 𝗪𝗵𝘆? - Justifies bigger salaries. - Makes people feel important. - Sounds impressive on resumes. But let's be real. A fancy title doesn't equal impact. It's about what you do, not what you're called. Let's bring back a bit of substance over bragging. Less titles, more results. Your thoughts? 💭 P.S. What is the most over the top title you ever encountered? #jobtitles #leadership #workculture #marketing #careeradvice

Opportunity

Recently, I had an interesting encounter with a candidate who approached our front office for the receptionist position we had advertised. Despite his CV being completely unrelated to the role, I decided to speak with him. It became evident that his English communication skills were limited, and he lacked specialization in any particular field, with brief stints at previous jobs. However, he displayed enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. Reflecting on my own challenging journey to secure employment in past, I saw potential in him and offered him a chance to join our team. Today was his first day, and I was eager to see how he would perform. To my delight, he arrived promptly and began his day with enthusiasm. After a quick orientation by housekeeping supervisor, he immediately started cleaning office windows. Witnessing his dedication, I started envisioning his growth within our organization, perhaps transitioning into maintenance or other areas. However, my optimism was abruptly interrupted when HR informed me that Ari, the new staff, wanted to resign. Despite my efforts to understand his reasons, it became clear that he was determined to leave. This experience reinforced the realization that some individuals cannot be helped unless they are willing to help themselves. It's a lesson in understanding the limits of our influence and the importance of personal determination in achieving success. #CareerDevelopment #Leadership #EmployeeEngagement #PersonalGrowth

Thanks for sharing Victoria Wratten. This advert is proof that so many organisations don't truly understand the role of an Assistant. They advertise it as an Executive Assistant Role. Yet they say it's a Junior Entry Level role. Then it isn't truly an Executive Assistant role. An EA role is a strategic business partnership with your Executive. It is rarely an entry level role. Lucy Brazier OBE launched the Global Skills Matrix a few years back to try and address this situation and it still needs to be addressed with many organisations and HR departments. As an recruiter you need to ensure you understand the role you are recruiting. Don't devalue the role because you don't understand it. Don't just throw a title to a role because you don't understand it. Lucy is more than happy to discuss this with HR Departments to ensure that companies understand the role of an Asisstant and the benefits they being to your organisation if you use and utilise them correctly. And value their contribution. I feel I work more as an EA now that I ever did Corporately because of the experience of running my own Business. The understanding of the decision making. Making decisions when it's your own money makes you view things differently. It's easy to spend money when its not yours! Companies. Do better. Do better for your Assistants. Sign up your organisation to Executive and Personal Assistants Association and Executive Support Media and ensure you are developing your Assistant community. Allow them to be the best they can be and development them through the roles. You'd do this for your HR Team. Your Marketing Team. Why not your Assistants? One of the reasons I chose to work for myself as a Freelance Assistant is because of scenarios just like this. (That and the commute!). Oh and the fact is advertised a competitive salary is just a whole other post. If its that competitive state it!! Don't waste my time or yours.
