It began several years ago when I started working for Mr. H as a temp. I’ve been an executive assistant for several years and I’ve received a lot of training but I’m not a facilitator or a trainer.

Other jobs, because they were temp to full time, I didn’t even have the benefits of paid vacation time or paid sick days for almost a year.
