Eat Your Career

SEPTEMBER 18, 2018

Whether you’re attending a networking event, heading into a job interview or meeting your new boss for the first time, the initial meeting can be one of the most important interactions you’ll ever have. You can always fall back on universally relatable topics like the weather, city traffic, local sports teams, and upcoming holidays.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

I suggested it to the person organizing the event so I could help out and work it, but also to meet the direct reports of my CEO and the rest of the team at the headquarter office there. I think along with this question I would also like to know if you have etiquette tips about emailing with the other EA’s on the client side of things.

I arrange quite a few events and have realized the importance of reading and reviewing the contracts carefully, highlighting key dates. I had an event for November 7th and the contract was signed, sealed and delivered, but then I noticed the hotel had put the wrong date on the contract. What are the dates you can cancel by?

I am speaking this morning at an administrative event so looking forward to meeting some new assistants. The one good thing about speaking at an event where nobody knows me is, they have no idea whether my hair is supposed to be this dark. Some good advice to pass along: Never colour your hair the night before an event.

If someone puts in a "birthday" or a "pick up the dry cleaning" reminder in their calendar as an all-day event, to those who are using the Scheduler, it will look like the person is busy for the day and in reality they may have the day open. We also have a staff calendar at work and use the all day events the same way.

I have become familiar with time zones, airport codes and international holidays to avoid. I have seen some contracts for event planners and it seems like a lucrative career to get into. I love the planning, organizing and running around that goes into bringing a conference from a thought to a successful event.
