On that note, It is hard to believe we are getting close to AdministrativeProfessionals Day which is on April 22 nd. That is a good time to recognize assistants for all that they do.

INTERVIEW WELL Make it a conversation. You are interviewing them too so ask questions. Take notes during the interview so you don’t forget what you wanted to ask. If you don’t get it, it wasn’t the right job for you or the right time. Admin in the Spotlight: Interview with Lynn Holgat.
When I interview for a job I interview the person interviewing me and try to get a feel for whether we will work well together. Good boss, bad boss On one interview I went on, when I met the two men who would be interviewing me, I met the first one and thought, "OK, so he seems like a nice man and I could work with him."
