Along with everything else that is asked of assistants we do have to possess some sort of encyclopaedic knowledge of the world’s best restaurants and hotels. Keep a list of great restaurants and add to it whenever you come across a new suggestion.

Business travel is tricky for everyone involved. Are you expected to be in the office or can you work from home while they travel? Once the boss is settled into the hotel send them a reminder email detailing the hotel amenities and any local information that might prove useful (weather, good restaurants, nearest public transport).

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.

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.

In some organizations raises are tied to how well you do and it is also a record that is kept on your personnel file. Normally, I put something about needing to get my filing system up to date, but I think I may have missed the point when I have done that. I never know what to put down.

This can be as simple as having hanging file folders marked from January to December and then you just put items in the appropriate month that you need to bring forward for your boss.
