What's one of the biggest misconceptions you see about career growth for administrative professionals?

The number one is that I, they say that to me that, "Ruth, I need to go and get a bachelor's.

I need to go and get an MBA." Now, I am the biggest supporter of further education and continuous learning, the, the biggest supporter.

However, there's a huge misconception, especially in the executive assistant space, that we can't apply for a role, we can't do something until we have this accreditation or a qualification or MBA.

We don't have permission to do that.

And employers, they value your expertise and experience in a particular area.

Now, what executive assistants need to do is to clearly and effectively communicate the experience and skills they've gained, because employers value that, because that tells a story of how you can bring impact and value into my organization.

So what are your options?
