Coming from a legal background, we were always taught if you are using an acronym or initialism in writing, on the first use you should spell it out and then put the acronym in brackets, which makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of head scratching and searching the document to figure out what the person is referring to. 411 Look Up 411.ca

I dont mind being referred to as someones assistant. My all-time favourite however is colleague. My current boss always refers to me as his colleague, both to those within our company and to external contacts when referring them to me. I tend to use the term boss when I refer to my employer. 411 Look Up 411.ca

With references like these how can I lose? .© Copyright Patricia Robb 2010 29 July, 2009 Monty Python Officeland One of my former bosses said working with me was like being in a Monty Python movie.

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. Like you, I list the new assistant as not only a contact but a definite resource for future references. I have found this practice to pay off big just when you need it! 23, 1 p.m.

I can honestly say that even though it was a hard time to go through, I ended up getting a much better job and a better opportunity and can look back on it as a good learning experience. If you do have to leave, dont forget to ask for a reference letter. My former boss gave me an excellent reference on paper and by phone.
