I worked as an Investment Advisor’s Assistant, completed my CSC (Canadian Securities Course), but soon after, I realized that this wasn’t really for me.

You feel that your work life is in place and need to find some balance in other parts of your life? Up until recently, I too felt this way. Work is work, which can definitely be fulfilling, which I have to admit, is great in my life.

Of course, the inverse also works. The key to quick transitions, I’ve found, is to keep local copies of all emails. I route my email accounts through Outlook so there are hard copies of everything just in case. I even do this with my Gmail accounts.

Of course, be sure to check with your co-worker first before providing his or her information. Your company may have a strict policy on what they want you to include in the signature line and what it should look like, but generally you would include your name, title, company name and address, telephone and fax number. Who are you?
