When I travel, I take my laptop and Kindle Fire. I always synch all of my files from my main Mac computer in my home office to Dropbox so that I am sure to have all of them handy while on the road by using the app on my phone and tablet. I have a data package on my phone and tablet so I can work from anywhere regardless of Wifi.

Event Management, Project Management, Human Resources and Finance have become a big part of my job. In the past I’d be answering phones, taking memos and maintaining files – nowadays you are an extension of your Executive. I was hired 4 years ago as the PA to the Managing Director and that was it.

In theory, electronic tools are always in your pocket or just a click away—whether on your phone, tablet, or laptop. Things I had input on my phone wouldn’t show up on my computer and vice versa. This is where I mark travel and other significant events throughout the month. Always at your fingertips. 2-page-per-day sheets.

So let me put this to you: You’re presented with two candidates – the first is an EA who has been working in the same company for the last 10 years. They’ve worked with the same manager throughout that time, and obviously had a good working relationship with them.

  Some say the traditional paper planner is the best, while others swear by their smart-phone or on line tool.  I personally use a Franklin Covey planner because I love the look of the pages, but many other companies make planner pages with the same set-up.   But, what is the right kind of planner to use?

I genuinely love the company I work for and have a great relationship with my executive. When we were a smaller agency, I was the EA and Office Manager for a smaller facility. That is the only thing that is different between a regular admin/EA and one that works for a Fortune 500 company. Paying dues is worth it for a reason.

What would happen if you worked at a small company where there was no one to cover for you? We also get most bank holidays, half day or early closure before a long weekend, and some companies close early on Fridays during the summer at 2pm or 3pm. During the interview process ask about the company culture.

Throughout the months of phone calls, backtracking, moving forward, and backtracking again, there was a lot of confusion. Twitter,Facebook, your project manager, your to-do list app, Google Analytics, your bookkeeping software, or your email accounts? My phone plressed the return key and it submitted. A lot of irritation.

I opened the phone book and signed up with every single one in town. On my first day there, as I walk to my desk, a guy appears out of nowhere and introduces himself to say hi and welcome me to the company. 2) How manageable are you? I learned through informational interviews that I should apply to temp agencies.

Use the notebook for everything you want to keep track of: to do lists, grocery lists, client meetings, phone calls, dreams and goals. Pick a half-dozen little items that can be completed in 5 minutes each or less (an email you need to send, a phone call to make, something to look up on the internet.) a 6x9(ish) spiral notebook.
