Question: It took me nine years of being an admin to work my way up to a managerial level. Now after six years of that, I realize that I was much happier being an admin. When I’m out looking for a job, what’s a convincing way to tell employers that I’m happier with less responsibility, less room for growth and less pay?

Completing a task sent to you via email? Don’t be too quick to say “Done!” … Fun via Zoom isn’t always easy  … Tell your supplies manager you have a special request … What is Kaprekar’s constant? … Getting together during the COVID winter takes creativity … Lock, stock and barrel

Even if you have to deny a request or can’t help someone, you want people to know they can depend on you for support and assistance. Here’s how to say “No” without alienating people.

How do you move from being a lost-in-the-crowd employee to a head-turning dynamic executive or administrative assistant?

The more you know, the more you grow. And all of the tech power at our fingertips today has accelerated growth opportunities exponentially. Whether you’re looking for creative ways to revitalize your communications process, increase your efficiency or improve your Internet safety, these options are sure to impress.

Although you can’t control what’s happening to you, you can manage your response to bad news. These strategies may help.

We all will have difficult circumstances to deal with in our life, but how we respond makes all the difference.
