I was in a workshop today on presentation skills and one of the things they had us do was present something to the group while they filmed us. Other than the extra work I need to do at the gym to tone up and trim down, I saw some good qualities as well and it was helpful to see myself present. Thanks Anonymous for sharing.

If you present yourself as a neat freak or an in-between, people most likely will perceive you as a good worker. You start to wonder how they keep their personal items at home organized. But in the office, you have to show that you are a neat person, since you are showing people how well you perform at your job.

This is where an assistant network can come in handy. I often reach out to my network to get answers to problems that come up at the office or just to lend a sympathetic ear. When you leave a job, you dont have to leave your network behind. Having the opportunity to hash it out with another assistant is a great resource.
