Juan is a good friend of mine and a former colleague of mine, a smart and capable girl who is willing to learn.

The new company's platform is good, the treatment is good, Juan left with a vision and hope for the future development of the workplace and began her new career.
But it wasn't long before she called us to meet, expecting to meet a spirited professional manager, but Juan's state really startled us: she looked very depressed and her brows were locked.
Juan saw us and poured bitter water: I thought I was the assistant general manager, but in fact I was doing the work of a secretary;
She had to write a report, organize a meeting, and contact the outside world, so busy that she was dizzy and did not know which one to catch;
Once, I booked the wrong ticket for the leader, causing the leader to almost miss the meeting...
She cried that her new career looked like it was coming to an end.
At this time, Min, who had not spoken at the side, opened her bag and took out two copies of the Old Secretary's Work Notes and handed them to Juan and me, "Juan, it seems that you have encountered difficulties in your new job, and this book will definitely help you." ”
"Sister, although you are not doing secretarial work, there are many practical tools and necessary knowledge in the workplace in this book that can help you work more effectively." We took the book in disbelief.

The "old secretary" in the eyes of the secretary
Juan's confusion when she first entered the secretarial profession: What is the difference between a secretary and an assistant? It is presented at the beginning of the book.

Only by distinguishing one's own position and clarifying the responsibilities and importance of the secretary's work can you know what you should do and find ways to do it.
