I was at a recent IAAP Chapter meeting and we were discussing best practices for organizing our Inboxes and there were a lot of good ideas. Anything that is for action goes in my _TO DO folder and once I have handled it I can either delete it or put it in one of the other folders that it relates to for easy reference.

Maybe go to OfficeTeam's web site or IAAP. You can also see what is common in your community and refer to those. Possibly do some research regarding administrative titles for admins who support a President of a company. This helps your President see it isn't just what you think but this is the overall trend.

We aren't in the same office anymore, but we now meet monthly to go to our local chapter's IAAP dinner meeting and then spend the drive home catching up on what each of us is up to. A coworker may easily become a boss and a reference for a future employer. And the same for another person I worked with.

A manager can call for references or give a practical during the interview. Cost varies based on IAAP membership. We can fill pages and pages of our resume or LinkedIn to set ourselves apart, listing every skill we claim to have. This may give a glimmer of what a candidate can actually do but it’s not the full picture.

I dont mind being referred to as someones assistant. My current boss always refers to me as his colleague, both to those within our company and to external contacts when referring them to me. I tend to use the term boss when I refer to my employer. My all-time favourite however is colleague. Excellent material!

Coming from a legal background, we were always taught if you are using an acronym or initialism in writing, on the first use you should spell it out and then put the acronym in brackets, which makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of head scratching and searching the document to figure out what the person is referring to. Excellent material!

So many of us decide in February that since we haven’t accomplished the goal set on January 1, it is hopeless, be consistent and persistent and refer back to your goals often. Write your goals down and refer back to them often; you may have to change your focus or create a new sub-goal. Be consistent.

Let the Past Go Unless you are asked, dont reference the previous supervisor and do not compare your previous supervisor to the new one. Clear your workspace; make it look presentable. A cluttered work area says that you are disorganized or disheveled, dont make this a first impression. Never speak negatively about a previous employee.
