Assistant Vice President Career Guide and Counseling

Question: In the corporate world, is an Assistant Vice-President considered to be an "Executive" of the company? Or would this be considered a Senior Manager? Obviously any sort of Manager is considered a "Manager" or "Senior Manager", an Executive Vice-President is an "Executive", but then what is the classification of a VP or an AVP?

Answer: She would be an Executive. YOu are correct that many times this is just a fancy title for a manager..

Question: Can an Assistant Vice President of a bank? look at bank account information of other banking institutions customer's? Can they even get into anything personal of another bank's customers?

Answer: No. They wouldn't have any access to any information outside of their own bank. Not directly at least. Only way I can see that happening is if they knew someone at another bank who inappropriately (and probably illegally) shared private information. A loan officer can only get information from another bank if you have given them a written, signed authorization form that comes with all mortgage applications. That's certainly a common practice to verify bank accounts and employment records directly. But without your signed authorization, any sharing of information would be an illegal breach of your privacy.

Question: Why don 't we have an Assistant President instead of a vice president?

Answer: Vice: An officer next in rank to a president and usually empowered to serve as president in that officer's absence or disability. Assistant (to assist): to give usually supplementary support or aid. I'd say Vice is one step higher than assistant. That's the best I got out of it.

Question: you are secretary to the vice president of your firm she has administrative assistant who constantly how would? you are secretary to the vice president of your firm she has administrative assistant who constantly give you tittle assignment that you do not feel are your responsiblity how would you handle the situation?

Answer: If you are the secretary to the vice president, wouldn't you be the administrative assistants subordinate? If not, then address this issue with the vice president. If you are under the administrative assistant, then you can either get a list of your job duties from HR, talk to her in a very professional manner and tell her you have priorities that supersede her instructions, or you can be an even bigger person and just do them. A lot of times in a business office the last thing a higher up wants to hear is "it's not my job". If you have someone you can delegate these smaller things to, then do that. But I truly do not suggest stating "that's not my job". If it is something that is getting in the way of more mandatory things, or they are not time manageable, then you should address this initially with the first person above you. If that happens to be the administrative assistant, then be very careful. But initially, I would just ask for a list of duties from HR to MAKE SURE that there isn't a clause that represents misc duties. Good luck and I hope I helped sweetie.

Question: Should I ask my manager who is Executive Vice President to put in a good word for regarding an internal job? Hey guys and gals, I've been working for a company for 2.5 years as an Admin Assistant for the Executive Vice President of my company. There is a position available for another Admin Asst position which pays maybe 3-5k more than my position now. Should I ask him to put in a good word for me or tell him that I have applied for the position because I am seeking more responsible and there is a pay increase? Thanks!

Answer: Tell him you have applied for the position. Then ask if the VP would consider writing you a letter of recommendation. That letter with carry more weight than his just mentioning it to the HR person. Plus it shows you value your boss's opinion.

I.Lewis "Scooter" Libby also worked as Assistant to President George W. Bush before he was indicted by a grand jury for obstruction of justice, perjury, and making false statements, in the CIA operative, Valarie Plame Wilson case, "outed" by columinist Robert Novak.

Answer: Yes I do and I hope he implicates George Bush as Libby would not be stupid enough to do it on his own. Bush would! That's a no brainer. How many before Libby have fallen on their sword for Bush?
