Some things I have on this list is a memory stick with the minute templates, tentcards, meals ordered, meeting packages, pen, notebook, highlighter, calculator (I hate math so just in case they ask something that requires mathematical skills) and attendance records to establish quorum for each meeting. It is interesting work.

I remember throughout the first week that I was there, when I asked a question on how to do something, someone would say, "its in the manual, did you not read it?" I think people forget how overwhelming everything can be when you start a new job. I basically know how to answer the phones and take messages. It is overwhelming.

How did I do it? I interviewed my friend who is a minute taker. I asked her questions to prompt her and got her talking about minute taking while I took notes. At the end of it, I knew how to take minutes and could write about it. Read their letters and reports and see how they craft their words.

Some of the younger bosses are certainly qualified and know how to do some things administratively, but is it an efficient use of their time and is it good job security for us? Many young executives have never had an assistant before and are so used to not having one, that they don't know how to utilize one. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

Where I used to work we had a Mailroom and I would plunk what I needed in a tray with a form to tell them how I wanted it to turn out and return to get it when it was finished.
