As a career-minded assistant, it’s easy to get to a place where you wonder, “Where do I go from here?”. Advancing as an assistant can take many different forms. For others, it means moving into a support position for a higher-level executive, assisting a CEO or CFO for example. Designed by Freepik.

I have written a lot about diary management over the years, which is not surprising when you think assistants spend at the very least a third of their day organising their manager’s calendars.
