Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant
AUGUST 15, 2012
My question is regarding social etiquette: I recently started working in a very small company that is very successful; I attribute this to the fact that we hire only the best (we have people from Google, Facebook, Yahoo, etc.). You can also spearhead coordinating events and personally invite this woman so she feels included.

I have two Gmail accounts, a Yahoo account and even a Hotmail account I haven’t visited in years. They’re free, easy to setup and they can sit there waiting for you when you need them. In a worst case scenario, you just jump over to your free web account and send out notices that your normal email is down temporarily.

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.

Try checking Yahoo Groups or Google Groups. Thanks, Richard Posted on 5 March, 2008 5:26 PM The Professional Assistant Hi Maura, Unfortunately, I cant add a forum to this site right now, since it would take quite a bit of work and only can focus on the blog itself right now. There are quite a bit of AA forms there.

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. Now I am glad I stayed in this career because I can do all these things.
