Before leaving, I was able to spend a few days going over the binder with my temp. offices, and train them in how to create their own desk reference guide. The person covering in my absence would have to hit the ground running, and this guide would serve as the tool to help them do it.

This would also help with their induction process and ideally a ‘buddy cover’ or mentor could be assigned. Put every PA on a shared distribution list and ideally a closed SharePoint site for sharing information such as training & seminars.

We had an incredible webinar event with over 1,300 assistants registered to learn more about why, as an administrative professional, they should consider a career certification.

Grow & learn; read, talk to mentors, attend training or a conference, watch webinars, etc. I suggest constant learning before the unexpected change occurs so you can adapt more easily. One full-time job and a few temp positions came after that one. Maybe it’s time to find a better career match.

If I had more work to do and would be learning along the way, I would stay. And as I was working, job hunting and/or temping, I had to find other sources of happiness.
