Championing Hidden Heroes - August 23

Our 2023 salary, benefits and employment trends survey

A huge thank you to everyone who completed our anonymous survey on the back of our July newsletter. We're busy analysing the data and plan to launch the report in the Autumn.

In the meantime do get in touch if you want any guidance on salaries, whether you're looking to benchmark yourself or want to understand what salary you should be offering to attract the best business support talent.

Do you need to advocate for more resources for your team? Whether you need to ask for upgraded equipment, budget for projects or salary increases, it's helpful to have a grounding in persuasive leadership.

In this Harvard Business Review article they delve into how to make the case for the resources your team needs, so you're able to manage up with confidence. Read more here.

An interview is the opportunity to stand out. Before you attend, consider:

1. Researching the company - a glance at the company website isn't enough - familiarise yourself with the company's core values, company culture and recent achievements.
2. How you'll showcase adaptability - adaptability is a key skill for a personal assistant. Be ready to share examples of how you've faced unexpected challenges, managed shifting priorities or embraced new responsibilities.
3. Examples that show your attention to detail - showcase how your attention to detail has contributed to successful projects in the past, including if you've been able to catch and rectify errors before they've escalated.
4. How to demonstrate problem-solving skills - share how you approach problems, the steps you take to find a solution and the positive outcomes that have resulted from your problem-solving abilities.
5. Your communication skills - the best way to demonstrate strong communicate skills is to communicate effectively during the interview! Focus on active listening and the ability to convey information in a professional, respectful and coherent manner.
