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. 411 Look Up 411.ca

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. 411 Look Up 411.ca

With references like these how can I lose? I also do not claim to give any medical, financial, psychological, veterinary, retail, personal training or HR advice, although at times it may seem like I think I know what Im talking about, it is just my opinion. My current boss says we get along like a house on fire. 411 Look Up 411.ca

If you do have to leave, dont forget to ask for a reference letter. My former boss gave me an excellent reference on paper and by phone. A good reference can go a long way towards getting your next job. I read an interesting article on what management can do to prevent lay offs. 411 Look Up 411.ca

As you previously stated, this is a great way to not only meet new people but you can expand your list of contacts to include the new assistant. Like you, I list the new assistant as not only a contact but a definite resource for future references. I have found this practice to pay off big just when you need it! 23, 1 p.m.

Another helpful site I refer to for protocol on addressing officials is www.formsofaddress.info. I also do not claim to give any medical, financial, psychological, veterinary, retail, personal training or HR advice, although at times it may seem like I think I know what Im talking about, it is just my opinion. Thanks Carol.
