And favorite hobby for sure has to be travel. We’re a big traveling family. Is that one of the places you’ve traveled? So right out of college, I actually worked as kind of an assistant in a medical office, then I actually was fortunate enough to get a role with pilot travel centers in the Knoxville area.

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. 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. Be protective of your boss’s time.

I use hanging file folders labelled from January through to December. Every afternoon before I leave for the day, I go through the hanging file for that month to see if there is anything I need to bring forward for the next day. A tip she passed along had to do with the bring-forward system and has been a great tool for me.

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. The system I use is quite simple and has been around for a long time. Thats great!

Keep an organized filing system and file list. If your boss tends to misplace things when they get it, make an extra copy for your file before giving it to them. Put reminders in their Tasks or Calendar of anything you know is coming up with enough lead time so they will have time to complete it.
