They will try to scam you with fake job offers, lure you into giving them money or even try to steal all your personal information. If someone wants to interview you about a job, you need to communicate via phone or email. Look up the employer online, looking for an address and phone number. Protect your personal information.

While there’s certainly a case to be made for banning phones from the workplace – confidentiality concerns, Facebook faux pas, employees who spend more time on Snapchat than spreadsheets – some smartphone apps, when used properly, can make your job a lot easier.

Sustainability certainly hasn’t been a priority for assistants organising events, particularly as we often have to manage events alongside our actual day job and the budgets we have to spend on events are still quite a bit smaller than they were a few years ago. Reduce your waste and reduce the budget for next year. Think ahead.

Even so, I cut back on the things that I could in order to get a business phone line, a multi-function fax/printer/copier and a couple of business books.

The perfect candidate is someone who reads a lot, gathers information and builds bridges between ideas. When given incomplete ideas, the assistant uses knowledge of his or her company and boss to round them out, all while keeping the executive informed and in approval along the way.
