On The Job
NOVEMBER 1, 2010
I think I've got a bit of a Halloween-candy hangover (who knew you could eat too many Milky Way bars?), so I'm just going to cut to the chase today. Here are my top 10 suggestions for your first day on a new job: 1. Be 10 minutes early.

I can’t say I knew every candidate or every amendment, but I gave it a good shot. The best part? Commercials will be put to rest soon! Yippeee!

I love being a virtual assistant. I love educating others about virtual assistance. And I love helping new virtual assistants get started. With that said, I also believe that if you’re thinking about becoming a virtual assistant there are some things that you shouldn’t need to be taught. The whole concept of a virtual assistant is that clients are hiring someone who is technology savvy.
