A great resource!

I found the book very helpful. I had already been doing some of the "secrets", but this only made me feel better! There are many helpful hints and information on ways of the office, etc. Helpful for anyone starting out!

Fun publication on how to be a great Executive Assistant

The book covers all the angles of how to be a great executive assistant, without being the boring "manual" so many career books turn out to be.

All-you-need-to-know book about being an executive assistant

Great way to get to know the in's and out's of being an executive assistant.

The definitive desk reference for every assistant.

How to do whatever is asked of you -- you name it, it's in this handy book. You'll find that a lot of thought goes into everyday, vital tasks, like keeping a phone sheet. Thankfully, someone else has already thought of everything.

Outstanding; a must-read for every recent graduate!

A lucid, humor filled, practical guide to working for someone else, Ms. Jean's book is packed with tried-and-true methods for getting the job done.
