Sale And Buying A Business

Yes we all see the adds on TV and online, the newspaper and so on, but how and who and a lot of other Questions sure come up, I know as a senior who was forced into early retirement, I sure wanted to keep working, just to make a little extra to supplement my retirement income. There are a lot of folks out there that would like to do the same, moms at home, lots of seniors, people who for what ever reasons cant get out any more, but still have a desire to do something.

I first started to look into the Internet about 4 yrs ago after becoming the victim of a violent crime. Yes I survived but was now disabled and unable to work. I think that was the hardest thing I had to deal with, I loved to work, I owned my own business and my wife always thought I would work myself to death, we laugh about that now, I’m glad to be here and was given a second, to love and be loved.

For the higher level executive secretaries, they did all the above in addition to taking Meeting Minutes, coordinating travel arrangements and transcribing dictation. These secretaries typically were the right hand assistant to one boss; usually the head of the department.

Today’s administrative assistant does all of the above and a lot more. This includes setting up video conferences, preparing complex documents such as Excel-based Travel and Expense reports, MS Word mail merges and PowerPoint slide show presentations.

Technology has changed everything. An administrative assistant can easily research the cheapest airfares and book flights and hotel rooms online. This is a huge timesaver and eliminates the need for using those big thick OAG Travel books or depending on a corporate travel agency.

All of these conveniences make it easy to multitask even more and to provide administrative support to as many as ten or more managers in addition to the department head.

There are still the exclusive positions in which an administrative assistant would report to only one executive, but that is usually for the very high-ranking executive who sits in the Executive Suite of a Fortune 500 Company and cannot share his or her secretary. This is both for prestige and confidentiality reasons.

So how does today’s administrative assistant reflect all of these responsibilities in a resume? The best format to use is the combination format to show how well rounded he or she is.
