Here are some of my favourites: Great Apps: Travel. This app is slightly expensive but worth paying for if your manager travels a lot. The app also gives access to real-time departure information, delays and gate numbers. You can set it for your current location or receive alerts from places you are planning to travel too.

I use this all the time on my calendar and my boss's calendar, and it helps us both to know which events are phone calls which he can take in the office or on the road (yellow) or which events will require travel (blue). I put travel in red and action reminders in yellow, but that is our own system and it works for us.

It was an amazing conference. I am now leaving Atlanta to travel to Birmingham and the impression I am left with is I have never been in a city that smiles so much.

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. If you discussed a need at the conference, be sure to address it.

I recently met with another administrative assistant and as we were discussing an upcoming admin conference, we started to talk about our role and how we are the do-all and go-to position in our offices. There are 12 step programs for many groups designed to help people, so why not for us. How do we keep it all together? 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

If a conference comes up and they are looking for someone to do the registration, we can step in and do that or we can organize it from start to finish. I have noticed in my role as an assistant that I can be called upon to do a lot of things. Our job is not just one thing, but many different tasks and it changes every day. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.
