The debate about what an Assistant should or shouldn’t do for their Executive’s rumbles on… I think unless your Executive only asks you to do menial tasks you should do the odd thing that isn’t necessarily in your job spec (reload a stapler with staples found in their desk drawer for example…).

A good rule of thumb is if you would put the physical information together with a paper clip or staple, then they belong in a folder together. For example, “J Lawrence File Management Blog Article 112021.” And don’t be afraid to go a few folders deep.

For example, real estate agents often give their buyers a gift upon the successful purchase of a new home. For example, one year I created personalized notecards for clients. If you don't know your client that well, Amazon or Staples are great options. Something handmade. Are you an arts and crafts person? Are you an artist?

Here’s an example. The box of staples was in with the checks and greeting cards, not near the stapler, because there wasn’t room in that drawer. Here are some other examples of how you can be neat and tidy but not truly organized. No, no, no. A client hired me recently to help her organize her home office.

Stapler and staples – Always always get the best stapler your company can afford and use the same brand staples as the stapler. I know this sounds silly but how frustrating is it when you can’t staple a few bits of paper together… trust me it will save you so much time having a decent stapler!

In my last blog I wrote about interview questions regarding career development and a few example answers. When asking a competency question the interviewer will ask you to give an example from your past experiences rather than answer in general terms. Can you give me an example of great customer service?

Considering this task is not the staple part of our profession I can still imagine your answer to be ‘quite often’. The company could, for example, want to change staff mindset or behaviour. . How often do you organise events? What will be the return on investment? What are the goals and objectives for the event?

Clearly, e-mail communication has become a staple in the business world and social media is making leaps and bounds as well. Can we text an RSVP? Is it ok to e-mail an invitation? And the rules only get trickier when we venture into the professional realm. Still there are lines to be drawn when it comes to professionalism and communication.
