When you find information that you know a contact would be interested in, pass it along. Nature takes it's course form there. I love social networking but have learned that a whole slew of followers is not as profitable as one fan! What do you do to build relationships beyond the keyboard?  Connect Genuinely.

When I receive an initial request for a meeting, I use a meeting form and write down the information I need: who is requesting the meeting, what is the purpose of the meeting, where it will be held and a phone number or an e-mail address and dates that are available. Never underestimate what you can learn from other assistants.

Is it for your information or something to put in your tasks to do later? Put it in a folder for your boss’s signature in completed form, i.e. envelope clipped to letter and attachments. I thought it would be helpful for those just entering the administrative field to know some of the things I have learned over the years.

All important information, but I knew I couldnt possibly retain much of what I was looking at in one sitting so I started to cheat and flip through a few tabs because I had to sign a form that I read the manual. Be kind to your new hires and available to answer their questions and help them learn the ropes. Too much information.

If there are forms that need to filled in and it has a due date in June, I put those forms in the June folder with a bf date on it for a week before it is due. I create a corresponding Task reminder and write something like this: WAITBIN need to prepare form for production by March 23rd. Too much information.

It would be much easier to keyboard it but I know it wouldn’t have the same effect as writing it by hand. I do feel much more comfortable with a keyboard than hand though. I actually find it quite therapeutic and sometimes, a form of meditation. Your Questions: Amy, how do you learn? I get hand cramps! Reply Mary E.

This company is so ginormous I am having a dizzy time of trying to wrap my brain around what all they do – various forms of power, civil engineering, and then the IT services side of it. I am learning time zones and currencies and every day I am shaking in my boots that it might be too much but I want it so dang bad! My CEO is new.

No delicate tippy-tapping on the keyboard for me. Email is one of the most common forms of communication between freelancers and clients, and all too often, the clients have no idea how they come off. The written word can be an unruly form of communication. This hits home in almost any form of online communication.

Let’s face it, you’re always going to be learning, just by being engaged with words. This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis. Read Great Writing One of the best ways to learn to write is by studying what others have written.

Now, when I say ‘don’t write’, I don’t mean you should take a break or get away from the keyboard for a day. That means they’ll grasp your razor-sharp message perfectly, learn from it quickly and understand it clearly. You’ll learn more, understand it better and remember it longer.

I will say, though, that Ali’s post was coincidentally timed – though you’ll have to tune in next week to learn why. You bashed monsters by hitting keys on your keyboard whilst wondering if you could hook up a nodding bird à la Homer Simpson. Griffin – Drool and keyboards don’t mix. That’s cool.

You put hours of effort and study into learning a certain subject inside and out. You probably can’t remember when you last put the knowledge you learned in university to work in your everyday business affairs. You’ve probably forgotten half of what you learned, too. I didn’t pay attention to what I’d learned.

Just once in a while… I find I have those moments as well, and if you’re not right there with the pen or the keyboard, then you’ve lost it. I saw E.Gilbert’s TED talk shortly before I learned I suffered from Bipolar Disorder and what she said resounded so true it was scary. Just grasp that moment, eh? Pay per view.
