I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Katy and I am the Administrator - NSW/ACT for a company called Coffey International. I work full time from home, which is a small rural town in NSW.

My current role is as Support Administrator, however this will probably change. Our company has just launched it's new strategic plan, and has restructured the company. I used to be the Operations Administrator for one of the entities within Coffey, but now I look after all entities within NSW & ACT. This is a huge challenge, as every entity does things differently. ]]> Welcome New OA Members KatyD http://www.officearrow.com/forums/welcome-new-oa-members/4844-introduction.html http://www.officearrow.com/forums/welcome-new-oa-members/4809-looking-network-new-york-city.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 22:02:45 GMT Hi everyone!

Even though I have been in this industry before prior to switching industries, I do not have direct experience in business presentation, marketing & mailing proposals in introducing our company services. Would greatly appreciate if someone out there could be of some help in advising or even providing me with a template to do so. This is a crucial part of my job whereby I would need to source for potential clients to advertise with us & arrange a meeting for presentation purposes. I am confident that with an outstanding proposal letter being mailed out in random, I would excel in what I do & most importantly stay & grow in this industry. Please assist.

I've been here before and have gotten good advice. Finally decided to sign up. The registration process is a little tough. I entered the wrong "verification numbers" and had to reenter them, then had to do it again because my password got deleted and I had to reenter that too... anyway, finally got everything right (I was feeling a little dumb) and got signed up!

PS. Does anyone else have problems with these "image verification things" or is it just me? ]]> Welcome New OA Members stevey http://www.officearrow.com/forums/welcome-new-oa-members/4208-tough-registration-but-finally-signed-up.html http://www.officearrow.com/forums/welcome-new-oa-members/4059-excel.html Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:12:32 GMT Can you recommend a good book on intermediate Excel.

I know emails are becoming frequent in the workplace and the best thing to do is actually talk to the person, however, for record keeping, emails are sometimes the way to go.

In our office (and in many others), people either don't read, only glance or don't read at all! I find it so frustrating. I ensure my emails are of course professional, short and to the point, however, including all pertinent info. Why do some people still get it wrong? I've had some employees claim they never received my emails, however a delivery receipt confirms it! Others just delete my emails when I send a "read" receipt. This is acceptable practice in our office when an email is urgent and requires everyone to have read the email.

One example is asking for credit card statements to be submitted to me as soon as they receive them. Sign and date anywhere on the statement (as not all of them come with that little box on the bottom right corner). I sent this email twice, since I didn't receive any, and then I received a statement within minutes, without the date. Another one submitted the statement without the signature!

Also, the only time I receive a timely reply is when I cc my boss, which I don't like to do as it ties up his inbox, however he's told me to do it, so he is aware of people not responding in a timely manner.

Just venting and sharing my frustration. ]]> Welcome New OA Members ilc http://www.officearrow.com/forums/welcome-new-oa-members/3892-why-emails-not-read-thoroughly.html http://www.officearrow.com/forums/welcome-new-oa-members/3852-introduction.html Tue, 05 May 2009 16:14:30 GMT Hi, My name is Sandra Stobaugh and I am very excited to be joining this forum.

My name is Sandra Stobaugh and I am very excited to be joining this forum. I really just stumbled across Office Arrow but am very impressed. I love networking and sharing knowledge in our ever changing world of business communications and processes.

I look forward to meeting new friends. I have worked over 25 years in the business world. My background has been varied but includes management, administrative support, customer service type positions.

At this time in my life I would love to find an avenue to work from home while continuing to learn and grow with the ever changing marketplace of electronic communications. ]]> Welcome New OA Members Skstobaugh http://www.officearrow.com/forums/welcome-new-oa-members/3852-introduction.html http://www.officearrow.com/forums/welcome-new-oa-members/3785-help-first-time-pa-boss-whos-never-had-one.html Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:19:02 GMT Hello, my name is chris I work for a company called IGoMogul.com/ExodusWeb.

My problem is I have never been a PA of any sort, and my boss has never had a PA of any sort. We are cousins and he needed someone in this role he could trust because of bad prior business dealings. However, my second week on the job I feel like more of a handyman than an assistant, I do what I am asked to do to try and free up some time for him. I just need to know what a PA normally does throughout the day, to give me some idea of how to adapt that to my new job and keep busy.

For an idea of what I have been doing, today I got here bright and early, hung up a couple of pictures around the office and have been doing nothing for about... 3 hours. All in all, not very productive. I usually run errands, pick up dry cleaning, buy computer parts and get lunch. I just can't stand having nothing to do. Last week I saved him a ton of money by being ultra handy and him not having to hire someone to fix blinds and hang art in a giant office. This week that is done and I am the one with the free time, which is not how this should work.

Thank you for your help. I will be checking back on this. ]]> Welcome New OA Members mangos http://www.officearrow.com/forums/welcome-new-oa-members/3785-help-first-time-pa-boss-whos-never-had-one.html http://www.officearrow.com/forums/welcome-new-oa-members/3781-cover-letter-help.html Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:13:13 GMT I've been in the same industry for over 10 years and out of work for almost a year.
