Being an office "wife".
Executive Secretary or Administrative Assistant:
Don't compromise integrity for loyalty, but maintain discretion at all times. Confidentiality is key. Make notes - they can save your job if not your skin. If you don't want to think for another person, don't become a PA/Secretary because essentially that's what you do most of the time - anticipation and foresight are necessary skills in this job. You are not Superman/woman - prioritise. Treat all people with equal respect - you need them and it costs nothing but has incalculable benefits. If you fluff it - own it and apologise. Communicate, be sure you understand. Hone your juggling skills - Executive Diaries are like a three ring circus... Smile - always smile. Graciouscness covers a multitude of murderous thoughts :-)
