Anyone can be an Administrative Assistant, right?

Laughing all the Way to Work

Try to anticipate the need so you can have the file or the answer your boss needs, before he or she even knows they need it.

Laughing all the Way to Work

I hope you keep your address book locked up as that would be a very valuable source of information for someone up to no good. I keep mine in an encrypted Word file on my computer.

Meetings Plus: Taking them offline

Laughing all the Way to Work

When I receive an initial request for a meeting, I use a meeting form and write down the information I need: who is requesting the meeting, what is the purpose of the meeting, where it will be held and a phone number or an e-mail address and dates that are available.

Do you like what you do?

I wrote an article awhile back called On the Outside Looking In. If you know what works best for you and if your job is 80/20 on what you like then you can put up with the small stuff like filing and filling out expense forms. Too much information. I have never regretted any of my employment situations. Do you like what you do?
