I used to work with someone who was an assistant in the Human Resources Department of a major law firm and has now become the Director of Human Resources in that same firm. She said it wouldnt look good on my resume if I was seen as a job hopper. I have seen admin assistants climb up the corporate ladder just that way.

Having the opportunity to hash it out with another assistant is a great resource. I can tell you my friends and colleagues got a lot of phone calls in those early days and it was a wonderful resource and help to me. I often reach out to my network to get answers to problems that come up at the office or just to lend a sympathetic ear.
