3 posts you might’ve missed

#1

I’d ask for your most outrageous story but I feel like I already do that with the BCCing my EA comics haha. 🐙

#2

I bet there are 100 other varitaions you could replace the red pill / blue pill captions with. 😭

#3

What’s the most unhinged EA job requirement you’ve seen lately? 😵

Bonus

This is part 7 of 7 of Brett Trembly’s “Behind every legendary CEO is a badass Executive Assistant” thread. Hope you enjoyed seeing fellow EAs shine!

On a related note, we’re finally bringing back the CCing my EA podcast soon. We’ll be interviewing experienced Executive Assistants about tips to improve as an EA and then summarizing the learnings in a typical CCing my EA bite-sized format for you.

We have a shortlist in mind already, but on the off chance we missed someone, is there any EA you think we should absolutely talk to? 👀

Just reply to this email to let us know!

1 Tech Tip

Edit text way faster: jump by word or to the line start/end

Next time you’re typing up an email or document, try this shortcut:

Mac

• ⌥ (Option) + ← / → = jump your cursor by word

• ⌘ (Command) + ← / → = jump your cursor to start / end of the line

Windows

• Ctrl + ← / → = jump your cursor by word

• Home / End = jump your cursor to start / end of the line

Pro tip:

• Add Shift to the above shortcuts to select by word or line

  • e.g. Ctrl + Shift + → will highlight the next word (Windows)

  • e.g. ⌘ + Shift + → will highlight the entire line (Mac)

I know most EAs don’t use shortcuts but this is one I genuinely recommend, especially if you’re typing all the time!

For a refresher on past Tech Tips without digging through your emails, they’re all available in a single post right here.

Thank you for reading!

I arrived in Tampa Bay today for a conference tomorrow that’s organized by Joelle Paban who has been a CCing my EA reader since our very first issue.

If you happen to be in the area, come swing by her EVOLVE conference taking place at Feeding Tampa Bay from 8am to 5pm.

Hope to see you there, otherwise I’ll catch you next Thursday~
