I had an event for November 7th and the contract was signed, sealed and delivered, but then I noticed the hotel had put the wrong date on the contract. What are the dates you can cancel by?

What seems like a simple there-and-back trip to a traveler is a whirlwind of coordination and research for the admin. And can you try to get me reservations to my favorite restaurant and hotel.

I am speaking this morning at an administrative event so looking forward to meeting some new assistants. The one good thing about speaking at an event where nobody knows me is, they have no idea whether my hair is supposed to be this dark. Some good advice to pass along: Never colour your hair the night before an event.

You answer the phone, book travel, offer beverages to guests, book meetings, prepare the conference room, order food, etc. Are there favorites of anything your boss likes - their coffee, restaurants, cafeteria lunch food, etc?

Networking at a conference does little good if you never speak with the person after the event. If you meet someone at an Administrative Assistant conference, for example, make sure to follow up with that contact within a week or two after the event. Give, receive and record contact information. Give before you get.
