Leverage Admin Skills for New Opportunities

Published on 09/19/2025 Hiring & Talent Acquisition Insights

Facing conflict with a director after two years as an Executive Admin Assistant suggests a need for a change in environment and potentially role. The user can leverage their administrative skills (organization, communication, scheduling, project coordination, non-profit experience) to seek similar roles in organizations with better cultures or to transition into roles with more growth potential, such as Office Manager, Project Coordinator, Operations Assistant, or even HR Coordinator. Updating the resume to highlight transferable skills, quantifying achievements (e.g., 'managed X projects,' 'improved Y process efficiency'), and tailoring applications to reflect broader operational support capabilities will be key. Expected benefits include a more positive work environment, potential for increased responsibility and higher pay.
