Useful if you have no administrative experience
This book is a useful one if you're new to the world of administration and have not worked as an admin or executive assistant before. However, I found that the tips and ideas the author provides are very basic common sense and really didn't get much new out of it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a few years of admin experience under their belts.

Very Elementary
This book is for an entry level assistant. I have been working as an assistant in corporate America for 10 years and needed something to motivate and refresh me. This isn't it. This is an explanation on how to organize files, answer phones and basic business etiquette. Perfect for someone starting out.

HOW TO BE A GOOD SECRETERY 101
This is a good introductory text on being a secretery or a receptionist. This would be most useful for people just starting out without any office experience who don't know what a spreadheet is. To anyone else the text is too basic, though it covers a wide range of office related matters and because of that this might be useful as how to reading for a newly appointed office manager with no prior experience. What this doesn't reveal are any tricks of the trade you would expect an old salt to have. Also disturbing is the casualness with which the author accepts the abuse she endured as secretery from the egotistical octopuses in the entertainment industry that she worked for. Similar Products
