I have been on some interactive sites where assistants ask questions and get answers and I learn from them as I have some of the same questions. Lunch n learns are also a good way to learn from each other. Administrative newsletters or bulletin boards where you can post tips or suggestions is a good way to learn.

I used to work with someone who was an assistant in the Human Resources Department of a major law firm and has now become the Director of Human Resources in that same firm. Although I was fearful to make the move and doubted my abilities, the transition has been relatively easy to make and more suited to what I am skilled to do.

Having the opportunity to hash it out with another assistant is a great resource. I had a big learning curve going into it and I didnt know any of the other assistants so I felt all alone with my challenges. 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.
