One of my co-workers told me that I was already using "we" and "us" when referring to my new employer. My mind is already planning the next Board meeting and how I will organize my desk and the filing at the new place. Meetings - Are you in the middle of planning a meeting? Sometimes it has been hard.

I have found in some work environments there is a real distinction between executives and staff. I dont mind being referred to as someones assistant. My current boss always refers to me as his colleague, both to those within our company and to external contacts when referring them to me. The one I like the least is staff.

Coming from a legal background, we were always taught if you are using an acronym or initialism in writing, on the first use you should spell it out and then put the acronym in brackets, which makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of head scratching and searching the document to figure out what the person is referring to. 411 Look Up 411.ca

With references like these how can I lose? Taking stock We don't know what we don't know ► June (1) Playing nice in the sandbox ► May (2) Whose meeting is it anyway? My current boss says we get along like a house on fire. Its not that Im funny, because Im not, but I find a lot of things funny. 411 Look Up 411.ca

If you do have to leave, dont forget to ask for a reference letter. My former boss gave me an excellent reference on paper and by phone. A good reference can go a long way towards getting your next job. I read an interesting article on what management can do to prevent lay offs. ► March (2) Admin Buddies Are you prepared?

As you previously stated, this is a great way to not only meet new people but you can expand your list of contacts to include the new assistant. Like you, I list the new assistant as not only a contact but a definite resource for future references. I have found this practice to pay off big just when you need it! 411 Look Up 411.ca
