3 Key Assisting Nuggets

Communication is vital in every type of relationship, especially in assisting!  

Below are three main points: 

Be Attentive 

Communication works in two ways. One person talks, and the other person listens. As an Assistant, you need to make sure that you understand what your boss is saying and pay attention to what they did not say. 

Have Clarity

As we just said, listening is a vital part of communication, and so is clarity. You want to make sure that what you are about to do is the same thing you just heard. It is ok to ask questions or to ask your boss to repeat themselves to make sure you understand. Remember, you want to be able to be efficient.  

Take Notes

Taking notes will be essential for evening reports. This the best open secret that anyone can give me. Always make sure that you have a pen and paper with you. These notes will help you not forget important things when completing the end day or week reports.
