Here's how you can foster strong relationships with colleagues and superiors as an administrative assistant.

Here are my top 3 tips: 1) Schedule coffee chats with colleagues that you feel you may learn from. Listen to their stories, experience and advice 2)Network - whether internally or externally - by networking, you not only build on your personal brand but you create your own book of contacts 3) Stay curious - ask questions, lean in for support and collaborate with those around you.

La mayoria de las veces, las personas sólo se quieren sentir vistas, atendidas y entendidas. En un puesto de assistant, aprendes que a veces simplemente estando y escuchando a los compa?eros o proveedores, puedes llegar lejos.

As an administrative assistant it is crucial to build strong relations, and for this, I should use my professionalism, communication, and reliability. From the business perspective, I must do the following things. Firstly, maintain open channels of communication, which means being a good listener, sending timely responses to emails and requests to colleagues, and volunteering assistance wherever needed. Secondly, rely on being reliable by meeting the deadline, providing high-quality work and proactively addressing any concerns that may arise in the process. Then, focus more on appreciation and show that I appreciate work with thank-you notes or stepping up to take on some of my colleagues’ tasks in stressful situations.

In my opinion, active listening is one of, if not the most important skill needed to be an efficient Administrative Assistant. This builds a strong relationship with whom you are assisting.

It's hard to fake reliability. When people count on you, and you consistently show up and follow through others see you as a resource they can rely on. As a manager, having a reliable employee means taking a vacation and trusting the office runs smoothly and any important issues are not hidden. As a coworker it means working together and team work really is the dream work. When colleagues trust each other it's easier to forgive and forget mistakes and give the benefit of the doubt. Accountability goes a long way in building relationships that get stronger and more likely to lead to new professional opportunities.

The key things I always keep in mind as administrative officer was following; 1. Managing the diverse departments while keeping the information shareable which are only required. 2. Letting the peers of department clear about boundaries and limitations to maintain integrity and value. 3. Confidential documents,files, meetings,company plans and directions must be safeguard until ordered to bring in notice. Keeping these in mind, you can surely be better in Administrative Jobs.

As a receptionist in a lobby busy with shipping and receiving of all types of packages and freight deliveries I proactively look for ways to help. I'm constantly surprised by how much the "little things" make a lasting impression. A heart of service attitude and mindset means grasping the big picture, then anticipating the needs of others joyfully. A proactive approach in business is a worthwhile reason to get noticed.

Fundamental siempre dar las gracias y estar agradecido por la ayuda que te presten. Las personas que trabajan contigo (ya sean compa?eros, ya sean proveedores o clientes) están dedicando su tiempo a gestionar contigo, y eso siempre hay que agradecerlo.

Sharing the glory is so much more fun than taking all the credit! Letting others know they're appreciated is never a bad idea and it doesn't have to be grand. It can be any gesture that acknowledges them and their efforts and accomplishments or even just the words spoken or in a thank you note. I like to give thank you cards, and I know how good it feels receiving one!

Ser educada, mantener las formas y no menospreciar a las personas (independientemente del puesto que ocupen). Todos los roles son importantes y todos, en algún momento, nos pueden hacer falta para avanzar en nuestras tareas.

Educate oneself to work professionally. Needless to say, performance should be error-free. That entails organizational skills in preparation, coordination and double-checking before submitting, presenting or facilitating anything to ensure satisfaction in the organization.
