Creating Objectives
|
I've been asked to submit my Objectives in my new role as the assistant to the Vice President of Global Food Safety and Quality. This will be the first for me as I have only been with the company for a little over 6 months. Does anyone have a copy that they can send to me that I may use as a guide? ritz.hernandez@gmail.com. I was asked not to make it look like a job description. Any assistance would be appreicated.

NAPW

I was wondering whether any of the AEAP members are also members of the NAPW (National Association of Professional Women). If so, how has this association helped you?

Icebreakers
|
I am preparing for our quarterly administrative assistant meeting and am looking for icebreakers or a great way to open the meeting. Each quarter the meetings review company policy, confidentiality and the every day tasks, but I always try to bring in either a self-improvement topic or a motivational topic to keep the meeting from being too formal.
Any help, suggestions and/or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Microsoft Office Specialist Certification

Hi there. I would like to get my MOS certification. Has anyone done this online? Who did you use? Would you recommend any particular training course over another? I've looked into a couple, but I'm still researching. Just thought I would tap into this great network. Thanks,

Meetings for Administrative Assistants
|
I saw that a few other members have their administrative assistants meet. My boss has asked me to develop the same. Those of you that meet, could you give me an idea of what your discussion topics are. We will be doing the same thing in our office area.

Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS)
|
I would like to acheive the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS) credential but have no clue where to get started. I recently switched to MS Office 2007 but do not have the Vista platform- will this make a difference? And do I have to have to be Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certified first? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

CPS/CPA exam duties
|
Hi, I'm new to this website and membership. Could someone give me details on the value of the CPS or CPA exam? My boss is looking to change my duties to an division administrator that are more geared toward an "office manager" type duties. The duties are what I am currently doing but they want me to have a college degree in office administration or something similar. Our local community college is just putting together an associate degree in the arena. Let me know your thoughts. Please e-mail the information to jpetersen@wslc.com. Thank you. Judie

Virtual Training for CPS/CAP Certification
|
I have been visiting with a colleague, a fellow CAP to determine whether there is a need/interest in participation in an online preparation course for CPS/CAP certification. We still need to figure out how to present it, market it and price it.
My thinking is this would be available as a group of webinars and set up so that it can be available 24-7 so that it is available for use by administrative professionals everywhere.
I am interested in hearing your feedback and what you think the value of something like this would be. If you are interested please answer a brief survey below:
For each of the three parts of the CPS the most important learning need for me are?
For the CAP the most important learning need for me is?
I would be interested in subscribing and paying for:
A - an entire program associated with certification
B - specific curriculum associated with certain sections related to certification. Feel free to provide a list, i.e., mathematical calculations, fil...

Networking
|
not sure if this has been done in the past, but it would be great to start a blog on opportunities that people are aware of either in their own company or through word of mouth with another company--and not necessarily posted online, etc. and not necessarily either in our own profession. During these turbulent economic times, we can all use the help to help one another.

I live in the north suburbs of Chicago and am considering researching temp agencies. 1) Has anyone had a goos experience with one in the Chicago area? 2) Where would you suggest that I begin my research on the companies? 3) Would someone mind explaining to me how the system works (roughly)?

Relocation Assistance
|
I have had family in Arizona since the early 1980's and due to circumstances, am finally free to join them. I currently live in Michigan. However, I need employment before I relocate, and am kind of stumped as to where to turn. I attended a job fair in Phoenix which didn't really help me. I am an executive assistant to a ceo and would like to maintain that level, but would be willing to accept less pay to move. I would pay my own relocation expenses, but could use ideas as to how to search for employment there and how to get serious consideration, since I am serious about new employment and relocation.

Paper: Lack of Career Opportunities for Administrative Assistants
|
I am in the process of putting together a paper for the final course in my BSM Degree program. The lack of career development for Administrative Assistants is the title of my paper and I am looking for ideas and/or comments that you can give me to help with my paper. If this paper turns out well, I will probably propose my recommendations to my company to see if they will implement changes to the current policies to allow better career plans for Admins. Please provide me with any information that you can.
You can reach me by replying to this thread or directly by e-mailing me at: maendeleo55@yahoo.com.
Thanks in advance for your help and I look forward to your comments.

Suggestions for smoothing over departmental relations
|
Our administrative team has experienced trouble working with two of our company departments, Information Technology & Facilities in a pro-active way. We have tried every angle to assert our needs and to create a team environment for both departments to get the jobs done however we are frequently met with a lot of resistance and negative responses. Also, there is no respect for seniority so even the CEO has to sit on the back burner with IT emergencies sometimes. Does anyone have any suggestions for turning this around into a positive working relationship? We have tried the direct approach and discovered that things got worse. Now we need to come up with a plan B on how to turn things around.

For thirty years my dream has been to be an Exec Assit. However, my career took me in different directions including Technical Writing and Project Planning. Now I've am looking for a position as an EA or even an AA and am being told I don't have the experience. How do I get the experience if I can't get a position? I'm in Milwaukee, WI. If anyone out there is willing to give me a chance... I won't let you down.
