As an administrative professional, we are always at our best, and want to make a great impression. Here are just a few suggestions to do that:
Be sure to listen - this does not mean that you never speak it just means to make sure you that listen. It is important that you understand before you are understood.
Measure yourself - don't compare yourself to others. You are your own person, and you do not do things the way others do. You are your own individual.
Keep learning - take it upon yourself to further your abilities. Read articles, subscribe to newsletters, attend a conference, anything to keep you up to date on the latest and greatest tools for an admin.
Don't worry about time - don't worry about the clock, you need to treat an admin position just like any other position. It is important that your executives knows you are there for them when a big project has a pressing deadline.
Do your best - do your best everyday. Make sure that you are as accurate as possible.
No excuses - don't make an excuse or try and get out of something that you messed up on, own up to it as it will go a long way if you do.
These are just a few things that will help you be an outstanding admin professional. You have to always find the system that works best for you but in the end it is all up to you on if you want to fail or succeed.
