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. Be professional on the phone and greet people who come calling, but not everyone needs to get in to see the boss. Be one step ahead of your boss. Be protective of your boss’s time. 23, 1 p.m.

I know we are probably stuck with the current system of trying to remember log-in names and passwords, but thankfully at work if you do forget your password the administrator can re-set it, and then you have the option of changing it again. I keep mine in an encrypted Word file on my computer. Back to the drawing board. Works so far!

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. 411 Look Up 411.ca
