If it is an internal meeting, has a meeting space been booked? Do you need to book it or were you provided with location. Prepare a meeting package for your boss and bring forward prior to the meeting to give them adequate time to review (hardcopy or electronic depending on your boss’s preference). Enter it in calendar.

Before I left I went over my checklists a few times to make sure I had everything and it was stress free each day as I reviewed the lists and checked off the items to bring. I finally had a chance to sit down and read your book over the holiday. Excellent material! Congratulations on this achievement/labour of love! 411 Look Up 411.ca

How many times I have booked a meeting thinking the day was free, only to notice later that an all-day event was put in unnoticed at the top. Actually, my office uses the all day events for the staff calendar- that way we can review the top of the calendar to determine what staff is in/out for the day. Another one I never use.

Check with your boss and if agreed, unsubscribe from any unnecessary e-mails that may be cluttering their Inbox or create subfolders and drag and drop these e-mails there for your boss to check when he or she has the time to review them. Do I have to make a reservation, book a boardroom, call someone or bring something forward?

Drafting a letter If your boss asks you to respond to a letter on his or her behalf, draft it as if your boss was going to sign it, i.e. have it set up properly with the date (or [Insert Date]) and the address correctly filled out and then either send it by e-mail or print it for his or her review.

Part of the good news is that a lot of the other candidates for the job will probably use the same old boring approach to the job interview that theyve read about in the same old books, and theyre fully prepared to answer such esoteric but oh-so-crucial questions as, "if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?"
