In theory, electronic tools are always in your pocket or just a click away—whether on your phone, tablet, or laptop. This means you should be able to quickly and easily capture information no matter where you are or what you’re doing. Things I had input on my phone wouldn’t show up on my computer and vice versa.

If it is with an outside contact, a phone call apologizing for your error and being open to whatever steps you need to take to make it right will go a long way to fixing it. I am part of the project management office at my company and I hear the term roadblocks all the time. Too much information. Do you like what you do?

  Some say the traditional paper planner is the best, while others swear by their smart-phone or on line tool.  You might find a PDA a tad too 'stale' in the way information is presented. I can also store email templates and phone "scripts" (bullet point items of what to cover on certain types of calls).

The mistakes were along the lines of typos, not explaining a request so it was 100% dummy-proof, and not catching a detail buried on a multi-page group email that had been forwarded to so many people by the time it got to me that I had to hunt and peck for the bits of information like I was looking for Waldo.

Nowadays, assistants are not there to pick up the phone and serve coffee… Assistants need to know about technology, law, accountability, communication. Common sense and practicality, along with willingness to absorb and use as much information on the job goes a long way towards performing well as an Assistant.

EA work is typically admin work - phones, travels, calendars, expense reports, mtgs/luncheons, etc. The amount of skill, pressure, stress, and problem solving differs at each of those levels.

Throughout the months of phone calls, backtracking, moving forward, and backtracking again, there was a lot of confusion. Most of us don’t write out information like, “Hi, I’ve died,&# while we’re here and able, but perhaps we should. It was annoying and inconvenient, and a few people muttered, but it got done.
