We can fill pages and pages of our resume or LinkedIn to set ourselves apart, listing every skill we claim to have. A manager can call for references or give a practical during the interview. Cost varies based on IAAP membership. As an admin, it’s remarkably difficult to gauge our skills prior to performance on the job.

If you want to find a new job, first set the goal of updating your resume. 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. Do you need to review interview techniques? Be consistent.

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!

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!

Forward your resume, create brief descriptions of recent projects you have completed for the company, or a CV. Let the Past Go Unless you are asked, dont reference the previous supervisor and do not compare your previous supervisor to the new one. Give him or her a chance to get to know you- the competent employee.
