Dear Administrative Professional,

The aThe Effective Admin electronic newsletterward-winning The Effective Admin newsletter is for administrative assistants, executive assistants, secretaries, and all administrative professionals who want job performance and career management tips.

 

This newsletter offers advice and tips that...

 

  • assist you with your day-to-day duties, skills, and performance on the job as well as your overall admin career.
     

  • help you stay motivated and inspired on the job and in your career.
     

  • help you learn ways to do your job better.

In the newsletter, you learn everything from how to better manage your work relationships to how to best organize your work day.

 

You even learn what other administrative professionals are thinking and doing on the job when I publish their dilemmas requesting assistance from me, the Admin Pro Coach, (answered in the newsletter) or their responses to short survey questions now and then.

 

The Effective Admin newsletter offers advice, tips and news for today's administrative professionals.

 

Here's what a few of your administrative professional colleagues think about the newsletter:

 

Executive administrative assistant Michele Ritchie says:

"I finally found time this morning to wrap up some training I've been doing and to read the latest edition of The Effective Admin Newsletter. This is the first newsletter I have received and I was VERY impressed with both the content and the layout. What was more impressing was how after reading this I could immediately put several items to use. Thank you so much for creating and publishing such a great newsletter!"

Danielle J. Turner, an executive assistant in Suwannee, Georgia, states:

"I really enjoy this newsletter! The articles lead me to things I wasn't aware of and remind me of standards that can be forgotten with time."

Debbie Lynott, an executive assistant to a president and CEO in Jacksonville, Florida, said:

"I am always looking for ways to improve my skills and to learn faster, easier ways to handle different job functions. I also value ideas from my peers on how they handle their jobs. I was very excited when I found your product. It is a very interesting read, and I have found several helpful suggestions."

Teresa Hodges, an executive assistant in Columbus, Ohio, writes:

"I enjoy reading newsletters related to my profession and am always looking forward to learning new things. I like the newsletter. The format is easy to read and the articles are interesting. I like the 'Grammar Help' section!"

UNDECIDED About Subscribing?

7 Reasons Why The Effective Admin Newsletter is Unique and Worth Subscribing to
By Karen Porter, The Administrative Professional

Job Performance and Career Success Coach

and founder and president of The Effective Admin and the Virtual Association for Administrative Professionals (VAAP)

 

Reason #1. ...because of its specialized content.

Rather than presenting general career information, The Effective Admin newsletter delivers information especially geared toward working administrative assistants, executive assistants, secretaries and all titles of administrative professionals. It contains information you can use regularly in your administrative job performance and career management.

Reason #2. ...because The Effective Admin editor knows the work environment and administrative professional role well and firsthand

– having worked in five administrative support professional jobs and in positions lateral to and even above the role (altogether for 18 years of hands-on office, on-site workforce experience for employers).

You've heard the saying, "It takes one to know one." That's meant in a good way here. You're getting advice from someone who's been there, done that, and knows exactly what you mean, need and desire in your administrative professional role. When you add in my work with The Effective Admin, you're getting advice, tips and news from someone with almost 24 years experience interacting with the "real" workplace and working administrative professionals.

Reason #3. ...because The Effective Admin focuses exclusively on administrative professionals (and their executives, managers and supervisors in relation to working with admins).

The Effective Admin is not part of a multi-industry newsletter publishing conglomerate. The Effective Admin has been exclusively serving administrative professionals for its entire existence. In fact, The Effective Admin celebrates its five-year anniversary in September 2009.

Reason #4. ...because you get original research and articles.

The Effective Admin editor often does her own hands-on research about the administrative profession, corresponding regularly with administrative professionals. Any guest articles in the newsletter are hand-picked by the editor from experts who have information you can use as an administrative professional. Often these guest articles appear first in The Effective Admin (before you'll read them anywhere else).

All other articles not bylined by a guest expert author are produced by The Effective Admin editor and are original articles exclusive to the newsletter (that means not found elsewhere!).

Reason #5. ...because you get information from your administrative professional peers.

The Effective Admin newsletter includes quotes, comments, and questions regularly from your administrative professional colleagues. Learn what are their dilemmas, issues and concerns in the administrative professional role and workforce as well as things admins like and dislike about their jobs and role and their shared tips.

Reason #6. ...because The Effective Admin publisher and editor knows how to produce a top-notch newsletter filled with practical information.

Not only has your editor worked in the administrative professional field, she also holds a degree in journalism and communications (with a specialty in reporting and editing) and has worked as a journalist and professional writer for years. Her earlier works as a journalist and writer (prior to starting The Effective Admin) were published in major consumer and trade magazines nationally, regionally and locally (even some you find in bookstores and at the supermarket checkout magazine racks).

The Effective Admin publisher and editor knows how to research and bring you the true facts, advice and news you can use as an administrative professional while conveying it in a format you can easily grasp and enjoy reading. A lot of thought goes into producing each and every article you'll read in The Effective Admin newsletter. Each one needs to be useful and worthy of your reading time.

Reason #7. ...because you won't get any more paper to file. Yea! (That could be one of the best reasons to subscribe – LOL.)

The Effective Admin is in electronic format only. It's a PDF file download you can save to your computer and read with free Adobe Reader software. If you like to be environmentally friendly and "go green," you'll be saving 64 pieces of paper a year by reading this digital newsletter (as opposed to a print newsletter mailed to you).

...because your first issue is RISK FREE - SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: If you don't like your first newsletter issue, just e-mail me a note within 60 days of your subscription payment date that says you want your money back. It's that simple. You'll get a full refund, usually within 24 hours of your request.

Likewise, if you find this information for administrative professionals as valuable as I think you will, I'd love for you to send me an e-mail saying so. I've been producing this type of information since 2004 for administrative professionals with mostly positive feedback from admin pros – so I know it's worthwhile and practical information you can use in your administrative job and career.

The current issue is ready to read NOW. The Effective Admin newsletter is in a downloadable electronic format (PDF file read with Adobe Reader version 5.0 or higher). You can start reading the current newsletter issue just seconds after you subscribe. And you can save the newsletter file to your computer or print it so you can re-read it anytime you want.

 

Each issue is  8  (8 1/2" x 11" paper size) pages. It's published electronically 8 times per year. As each issue is released, subscribers receive a username and password stating where to download and or print the current issue.

Have we met? For 18 years I worked on site in corporate, nonprofit, and higher education environments. I know what you do and deal with at work because I've held various administrative professional level positions too -- at five different employers. Plus I've worked side by side with admins when I've been employed in unrelated and higher level positions.

Even now, I spend all my working hours researching and writing in depth about the administrative profession. I reach thousands of administrative professionals through The Effective Admin resources and regularly correspond one on one with admins. With almost 24 years experience interacting with the "real" workplace and working admins, I am well aware of the substantial job you and your administrative professional colleagues perform daily.

These days, I'm gladly putting my ongoing research and 20+ years experience interacting with the real workplace to work serving administrative professionals like you with my professional development and training resources. Check out the knowledge, information, and practical strategies I share that will make you a better administrative professional ongoing.

My focus is on giving you relevant, practical information that matters in your administrative professional job performance and career management. Please take the risk-free action above to receive this information today.
