Submitted by Ethan on January 15, 2010 at 04:51 PM I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read an email, IM, Facebook post or comment online and not known if the person writing the remark was serious or not. However, if it doesn’t catch on and reach critical mass, no one will know what it is anyway.
By partnering with IngBoo, we’re giving them a tool that completely simplifies searching for assistant positions in their specific location and makes sure they won’t miss any new postings if they don’t happen to check a particular job search site that day.&# Pretty cool, huh?
Speaking, emailing or writing a new business deck, the communication doesn’t take on the formal tone that work communication deserves. I don’t blame our “wired in&# generation for this; they’ve grown up with Twitter, Facebook and IM status updates where slang and short communication rule.
Very easy to search and the instructions are easy to follow… and you can also rate your experience using that number or add your own with instructions if you have any that aren’t listed. Just another use of technology to bypass a level of technology that drives me batty. Share it with others.
Don’t worry about being neat or making sure everything is in order, you just need to make sure that your brain is opened up for everything needed for success. What didn’t? Define success - it’s important to know what you and your boss view as a success for each project you’re assigned.

If you’re not, don’t worry, they’ll surely let you know. You will develop a thick skin and be able to take criticism better than people who haven’t worked for a tough or demanding boss. Working for a tough boss teaches you to be at the top of your own game. it does happen. Share it with others.

For me, I’m usually under the gun with my hair on fire because I need to get this work done ASAP before my boss heads out the door for their business trip… and my computer freezes or the printer stops working or my fax machine won’t send. And do you know what they do?
Now, if your boss is the one who wants you to look the other way when they are the ones who aren’t fully on the up-and-up, take our advice and have some “See ya!&# Submitted by Ethan on May 26, 2010 at 04:18 PM From the assistant position, you’re privy to a lot of confidential information. Enjoy this post?
Submitted by Stephanie on November 04, 2009 at 05:24 PM I know I said two weeks back that I wasn’t going to blog about assisting but rather about what we (Ethan, Sadie and I) are doing behind the scenes of ProAssisting however after coming across this story through my fashionista reading, I had to post about it!
From our perspective we don’t believe that an assistant’s role or position is “imperiled&# however we do recognize, as the article details, that the role is evolving due to technology. .&# Their by-line states: “An Assistant knows her boss like few others. Why their partnership is imperiled.&#
Sadie wasn’t too happy with us for being left behind but she had a great time staying at our dog walker’s home and playing with his 1 year old puppy so all was not lost… I think she’s just getting over being mad at us:) I’m sure Steph will post some more pics of her soon.
I know that this doesn’t answer the whole “So what’s my career got to do with pizza?&# It’s a very valid question. First, let me throw something out there right off the bat: I love pizza… always have, always will. We at ProAssisting believe that: 1.
Being invited into this membership is a big deal for us because, as a new company, we want to assure all of our current and future members that we value our reputation and will do what we say we will whether that involves our training, our support or giving you a refund if our training wasn’t what you were looking for.
Although working for two years in a pizza shop didn’t sound all that exciting, it was still pizza we were talking about. You should read part 1 first before you read how pizza fits in with your career below. “First, you need to figure out where exactly you want to open this pizza shop. Now, are you ready to eat some pizza?&#
Rest assured though that we are going to keep blogging and putting out free content in addition to the paid executive and admin training program that we offer so don’t be strangers. Stephanie and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting at the beginning of November. Enjoy this post? I look forward to your lessons.
On Sunday evenings, I log onto my work email from home to take a peak at my inbox and perform my initial round of email triage so I don’t feel caught off guard come Monday morning bright and early when I boot up my computer at work. Then do a 2nd sort on Subject so I can see who’s responded to specific projects.

Google it and don’t engage in bad faith, and you’ll learn a lot. This isn’t an article about marginalization, or proving that it exists—it’s one about how to succeed at work regardless of your identity, especially if your identity is one that’s in the minority. No, it wasn’t.

I don''t believe that their not having me do it was because they were open and trusting. They weren''t fearful, but they were pretty stupid on all counts; they had something super valuable to protect, and they didn''t protect it. I don''t think so; I think I''m protective of the stuff I own that I view as being highly valuable.

The images are copyright free and they are great, there are text and filters that you can add to make the presentation look really different. I have been using it for just over a year now and I really wouldn’t be without it. It is also important because technology really does enable us to be better at our jobs.
