Being an assistant is a powerful career to get into while moving on to your desired career. You can work in any industry and be a great assistant; however, you have to have a strong foundation as an assistant. You have to have strong technical, communicational, organizational, time management and follow up skills, to name a few, to be able to handle the different types of demands. You can use your 'being an assistant' as an underdog in any industry of your choosing and the career of your choice, but you must be a go-getter and be in control of your own professional development. It can open up exciting doors to your desired career. Don't Sleep on It! Assistants Rock!
