New Resource Just for Admins

Posted by
Lynn Gaertner-Johnston Updated on

I have been invited to participate in a website that gathers resources for administrative assistants. It's called Assistant Edge. You can see the logo I have added to the right column on this page. If you click on the logo, you will find an assortment of my blog posts that are being featured on the Assistant Edge site.

Assistant Edge offers practical resources from other business writers and sites. It features tips on networking, using social media, sending effective email, and working as a virtual assistant. It includes posts from Patricia Robb's excellent Laughing All the Way to Work, a light-hearted and helpful blog for administrative assistants in Canada and the United States.

At the beginning of my career, I worked as an office assistant. I was so green that I didn't know how to use a staple remover. Once when the labor relations negotiator had an important phone call, I slipped a note under the men's room door to let him know about it. When he returned to our office area, he said to me, "Don't you ever do that again." I learned many lessons.

Assistant Edge can help you learn important lessons faster. Check it out.

Note: I have no financial relationship with Assistant Edge. I just wanted to participate in what seems to be an excellent resource for administrative assistants.
