Try to anticipate the need so you can have the file or the answer your boss needs, before he or she even knows they need it. Be protective of your boss’s time. A good assistant knows just where to find the document or file needed, or they won’t stop looking till they do. Be one step ahead of your boss.

Recently I was working with someone on an Excel document. They sent an e-mail wondering if any of the assistants could help them export a document from Excel to Word. Unlike Word you will only see the header repeated when you do a print preview or print the document. Or if you want to attach a file, choose Attach File.

The system I use is quite simple and has been around for a long time. Tried and True Method: I set up 12 hanging file folders labelled January through to December. I then put the items in a two-fold file folder with his calendar printed out on the one side and the items he will need for the day on the other side. Thats great!

Many times I need to proof text and comment with my thoughts before he even looks at it. Of course my comments are limited because the subject matter is not my expertise, but he relies on my input and corrections to make the document look good. Get any files they may need as a result of the e-mail correspondence.

This can be as simple as having hanging file folders marked from January to December and then you just put items in the appropriate month that you need to bring forward for your boss. I am a young - 22 years old - legal secretary working in patent law with no professional experience whatsoever.
