Moving to a new city for work can be daunting! This is especially true of the city that never sleeps, with its five boroughs, eight million people, and fast-paced lifestyle. We\u2019re new to the Big Apple as well, so we\u2019re feeling a lot of the same feelings! Whether you\u2019re looking for an entry-level assistant job or a senior executive assistant job<\/a> in NYC, here are four ways to help you find a job<\/a> in the city.<\/p>\n

WAYS TO HELP YOU FIND A ROLE IN NYC<\/h2>\n

Register with the right job agency <\/strong><\/p>\n

Regardless of the type of role you\u2019re looking for, there will be a job agency in NYC that specializes in that space. When looking for a PA or secretary job, for example, a business support agency will have the right experience to help jobseekers like you. First, decide whether you\u2019re looking for temporary<\/a> roles or permanent opportunities, and then search a recruitment company\u2019s job pages to see if the roles they\u2019re advertising are suitable. You might also want to look at how they support their jobseekers with online resources, such as blog posts and r\u00e9sum\u00e9 tips, as this will give you an indication of how far they are willing to go to help you throughout the process.<\/p>\n

Spruce up your <\/strong>r\u00e9sum\u00e9<\/strong> and cover letter<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve just moved to the city, give your r\u00e9sum\u00e9 and cover letter a once-over to make sure it\u2019s in line with what\u2019s expected by local employers. Key points to include, when looking for a role in NYC, are your relevant skills, education and experience. Remove personal details such as your full address, and don\u2019t include a headshot. Keep the whole document to one or two pages maximum, as the hiring manager will probably look at hundreds of applications – anything longer will discourage them from reading it. In your cover letter, adapt the skills mentioned on the job description and explain how your achievements relate to the specific role you\u2019re applying for. Mentioning the company values is also a good idea, as it shows that you\u2019ve researched the employer.<\/p>\n

Network<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know anyone in NYC, look for groups online like assistant support pages on Facebook, or connect with potential colleagues on LinkedIn. If you\u2019re looking to meet other personal assistants in person, check out Eventbrite, where companies will put on conferences for support staff around New York. Apps like Meetup can also offer an informal group setting to meet and mingle with fellow assistants.<\/p>\n

Refresh your skills<\/strong><\/p>\n

When moving to a new city, it may be worth completing a short course or two to work on any weaknesses, ensuring you\u2019re put forward for the right roles in a competitive market. Skills needed for a personal assistant job<\/a> in New York City, for example, may include minute taking, time management and an understanding of Microsoft programs. Websites like Coachhorse.com also offer courses on the basics of office software, while Trainup.com host online seminars across a range of business courses.<\/p>\n
