Try to anticipate the need so you can have the file or the answer your boss needs, before he or she even knows they need it.

When I receive an initial request for a meeting, I use a meeting form and write down the information I need: who is requesting the meeting, what is the purpose of the meeting, where it will be held and a phone number or an e-mail address and dates that are available. When a meeting is finalized, I put the scheduling sheet in a completed file.

This is useful if you want to file the email and change the Subject line to something that better describes what the email is about or to put notes in the email. We dont know what we dont know.

I wrote an article awhile back called On the Outside Looking In. I have a network of assistants that I call friends, although some are just phone colleagues, but we help each other. I have never regretted any of my employment situations. I keep looking forward to new experiences. GET TO KNOW YOUR CO-WORKERS. We are not an island.
