Practically Perfect PA

JANUARY 4, 2013

Well 2012 is over and done with and we are now already two days into 2013. If in 2012 you did not attend any events or training sessions then you should speak to your manager or HR immediately to get something booked for 2013. Social Media. I hope you all feel the same and are looking forward to the next twelve months.
