OMG...I sure can Identify!!! Being an Admin. Assistant can be very trying at times to say the least! The best advise I can offer you is to educate yourself now while you are young. I started as a Receptionist for a small company and while I worked there, I went to night and weekend school at College. Get your Admin Asst papers, even Executive level...this will offer you the opportunity to apply to better companies, where they are more professional and treat their Admins with greater respect! I now have a wonderful job as an Admin Assist. with a great company and while of course there is always someone who will be difficult, I am very happy with this job.
I learned early that we teach people how to treat us...you have to set barriers and stick to them!!
Good luck! |
