But there are some people who don’t need a full-time assistant; they need such services only when they’re on a certain project or burdened with too many short-term responsibilities. And make sure you ask your employer to provide honest feedback about your work, both throughout the project and once you’re done.

Other than the reality check of the above three items, it was a great way to see how I project myself and how other people see me. I find we are often very critical of ourselves and it often impacts how we behave or project ourselves. I am not a legal expert and do not claim to give any legal advice.

Make sure that tasks directly associated with clients come first, consider the financial impact of a project and its completion date on the company, don’t let deadlines control the priority list (expense reports can wait when there are more important tasks), and consider cause and effect (do A to enable B, which accomplishes C).

One office I worked in together sponsored a child as a workplace charity project. I am not a legal expert and do not claim to give any legal advice. We all participated by writing to our sponsored child and contributed money towards supporting her.

They are legal-sized folders, because I like a lot of space, but letter size would work just as well. I do however use my Tasks and Reminders in Outlook throughout the day for my own deadlines and projects, but for organizing someone else, this system beats even that for simplicity and it just plain works!

The admin profession lends itself to taking on new and sometimes challenging projects. I am not a legal expert and do not claim to give any legal advice. Sometimes we just need someone to be our sounding board and an outsider to the situation can often see things more clearly.

Are you willing to take on new projects and new challenges? I am not a legal expert and do not claim to give any legal advice.

My first true events project was for an internal communications conference and summer party for 200 people.

I am part of the project management office at my company and I hear the term roadblocks all the time. I am not a legal expert and do not claim to give any legal advice. Hi Patricia: What an encouraging message this is. We all face hurdles in our jobs, but often see them as roadblocks.

You’re a parent or a friend or a lover or an employee or a speaker or a blogger or a stranger on the street or a patron at a restaurant or a person jogging in the park. You’ll know your own writing voice and you’ll also be able to take on several different voices easily, which lets you take on more projects and jobs.
