My Career Future
I currently work as an Executive Assistant and I really truly love my job. Because it didn't exist before I started (it was somewhat created for me), the job has grown & changed over the past year. I recently got a small raise but it's still not even close to where I'd like to be. I'm completing my BS right now and I'm hoping after that, I will have more leverage to earn more money.
Do you think that as more is added to my workload, I should be compensated more? I work for a media company and one of the things they want me to start doing are internet news broadcasts and radio commercials. Should that be something that I get paid separately for?
Re: My Career Future

Not necessarily. IMO the more accomplishments/more you do for your company, the more you should be compensated. But you have to show what you've done.

It's something to bring up. I wouldn't expect to get paid separately, but I'd ask how your role will change with these added duties, and if you should expect an increase in compensation for added duties/accomplishments.

If compensation is not something they are doing, will participating in the internet media reduce the workload of other aspects of the position?
Also... is this something that will be a real resume booster and lead to a better job down the road? (Especially so after completing your degree)
They always have that "other duties as assigned" for a reason.
Will it be a great resume booster in the future? Most likely not, unless I decide to become a news anchor since essentially that's what the video news entails. Will taking on this project reduce my workload? Unequivocally no, as my workload continues to develop as the company grows. Not that I'm complaining. On the contrary I'm happy to take on more and prove what I'm capable of.
Ideally, my long term goal is to stay with the company indefinitely (assuming I don't make the decision to be a SAHM, which I'm on the fence about). It's a wonderful company to work for, they have great benefits, and they truly take care of their employees...I just wish I made more money. I guess if I just keep proving myself, it'll only work in my favor.
