Outsourcing has been around for quite some time now and I will discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of it. This definitely saves you time and money, so that you can focus on doing whats most important to your business - making money.

This definitely helped my position. Try creating a list of tasks and tackle one thing at a time. I am sure that this will definitely help quite a few readers. Check with your company to see if they have a similar program in place. One more thing, multi-tasking has been shown to decrease productivity.

This time I came up with a site called Karens Linguistics Issues. It will definitely be added to My Favourites on the side bar of the blog under Spelling. It gives the proper spelling for British, Canadian and American words and is very user friendly. By the way, behaviourial is spelled this way in Canada.

I was recently reminded by a reader of what it can be like to work for someone who is completely disorganized. In all my career I have only worked for one person who fit this description.

Work is work, which can definitely be fulfilling, which I have to admit, is great in my life. You feel that your work life is in place and need to find some balance in other parts of your life? Up until recently, I too felt this way. There is life outside of the office, but of course, you need to go to work to get your bread and butter.

If I am told that I should have it in the next few weeks, or can expect to receive it in a couple of months, that doesn’t really help me with my follow up as it is not a definite date. I can only guess when I might get it. I would prefer they say you will have it by March 4th. That I can track. Dates are important.

This will definitely make a difference to whether this should be an approach to take. Many companies these days have specific rules against importing outside mail into their Exchange system, not only for security and confidentiality reasons, but also because of document retention issues. Thanks again for the comment.

Follow these 5 easy steps and over time, your boss will notice that they have made a definitely wise decision to hire you on. Make sure to follow up on your commitments. Only take on commitments that you feel you can handle. Then they will feel good about themselves and you might just get that promotion or raise after all.

Yes, yes and yes, but I would definitely recommend college or business school as it gives you the edge. I know many sort of "fall" into this profession, but are there people out there who CHOOSE to go into this field? Thanks-in-advance! April 09, 2009 Patricia Robb said.

Like you, I list the new assistant as not only a contact but a definite resource for future references. As you previously stated, this is a great way to not only meet new people but you can expand your list of contacts to include the new assistant. I have found this practice to pay off big just when you need it!
