Questions Fréquentes
How do I demonstrate strategic value in an EA cover letter?
Focus on how you enable executive effectiveness, not just task completion. "By optimizing calendar management, I increased the CEO's available meeting time with key clients by 20%" shows strategic impact. Describe situations where your judgment and anticipation created value beyond basic administrative support.
Should I mention the executive titles I've supported?
Yes. C-suite support carries more weight than supporting mid-level managers. "Supported CEO and CFO of a $500M organization" establishes the level of responsibility and trust you've earned. If you've supported board members, mention that as well.
How do I address confidentiality in my cover letter?
Mention it directly without revealing specifics. "I handle sensitive board materials, M&A documentation, and personnel matters with absolute discretion" demonstrates awareness without breaching confidences. Hiring managers look for explicit commitment to confidentiality.
Should I mention salary expectations for executive assistant roles?
Generally no — save salary discussion for interviews. However, if the posting requests it or you're targeting a significantly different compensation level, you can briefly address it. Focus your cover letter on value delivery rather than compensation.
