I worked as an Investment Advisor’s Assistant, completed my CSC (Canadian Securities Course), but soon after, I realized that this wasn’t really for me.

Of course, the rest of us had to follow this schedule and would have to take time off during these periods. In this case, I dont have to worry about taking extra days off, since I dont really follow the religious holidays that I was brought up with, which in turn, are part of the regular holidays that come up each year.

Money, of course, is important, but what about the customer? Do you feel that you could be helping the client even if you dont know the answer to their issue right away? This happens so often within large corporations, since most of them care only about the bottom line - money! Keep in mind that they are the ones that are paying your salary.

Of course, the inverse also works. The key to quick transitions, I’ve found, is to keep local copies of all emails. I route my email accounts through Outlook so there are hard copies of everything just in case. I even do this with my Gmail accounts.
