This has been such a help,
By "whitepoodle" (NY, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Administrative Assistant's and Secretary's Handbook (Hardcover)
I just started a job as a secretary and my boss was no help in ttraining. I was lost. A friend recommended this book and it has been a lifesaver!! It has all the details and hints. After a couple of weeks, I looked like a pro. If you are a boss, buy this book and make it part of your training. If you are a secretary like me, buy it and hide it in the drawer and next time you're stumped, I bet you find the answer here.

Good for Small Business,
This review is from: The Administrative Assistant's and Secretary's Handbook (Hardcover)
We run a small business and this book turned out to be a great resource for making us look like a big business. The best sections include standard letter addressing, punctuation, and title addressing.

Administrative Assistant & Secretary Handbook,
By RT "RT" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Administrative Assistant's and Secretary's Handbook (Administrative Assistant's & Secretary's Handbook) (Hardcover)
Overall not bad. I ordered the book because I discovered general clerical tasks such as envelope & letter formats, answering phones, taking messages were not common knowledge to highschool graduates. This book gave our receptionist who had no office/clerical training good guidlines to follow. The computer section is outdated.
