Most assistants do not get to travel on business trips with their boss unless they work for high net worth individuals or are private household assistants.

It could play into an article or interview if an executive shows up to a press event or an interview in one. Where the press interview was taking place also becomes an issue - pick too nice of a restaurant and they have expensive taste.

Take meditation, for example: less money, less time spent doing expensive things, might lend more time to meditate. Particularly helpful when I go clothes shopping ! However, some of us are well below the poverty line and struggling to simply keep a roof over our heads. Thank you for the thoughts.

Once I feel I've captured every idea on a note, I find a stretch of wall and stick each idea up. "Heads Up. I write down one task or to-do on a Post-It, and put it up on a wall. I can then either leave them up on the wall, and tweak them throughout the day, or I can generate a formal to-do list. Not Really!"

And then you graduated, spent some time in the real world and ended up working in a field that was wildly different from the one you’d studied. That’s what you should be playing up.
