assistant: Safety Reminders - 11/24/08 06:57 AM
It's getting to be that time of year again, holiday shoppers, people going out more, the rush of the season and year end. Here are some safety tips I received in an email. Doesn't hurt to be reminded to be cautious specially for those who run errands and such by themselves.
1 . Tip The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!
2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans
If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,
DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM … (3 comments)

assistant: Brian Tracy Assessments - 11/17/08 10:48 AM
I was on another networking site...YES there are others! hehe ... and someone posted this link:

This is one of the few personal assessments that doesn't take an hour to complete.  I was rather surprised at how I was assessed specially considering my stage fright issue. haha!
Here is what I got:

assistant: Creating your marketing flier - 10/20/08 09:53 AM
 
Flier Creation – Not As Easy As It Looks:
 
 
 
There are many things to take in to consideration:
 
Aesthetics – is it easy on the eyes?
Branding – can you tell right away who the company is and recognize their logo?
Space – is there too much information crammed into one small space?
Information – are you actually giving some valuable information on the flier?
Color Palette - does your color palette match your branding?
Continuity – do your fonts and sizes make sense?  are your bullets and capitalizations continuous throughout?
Contact Information – is it … (3 comments)

assistant: Good Idea or Keep My Day Job? - 04/17/08 12:43 PM
 
Good Idea or Keep My Day Job? (so to speak) 
 
I have been kicking around an idea for several years now about what I would like to do professionally and if it is something that would take off or not and I would love to get some feedback from realtors. 
It's kind of in between a virtual assistant and an in office assistant but you would only hire me for a specific project with the hopes that you would come back for other things.  You would not be responsible for keeping someone in the office or trying to keep someone … (6 comments)

assistant: New Adventure - 04/09/08 03:16 PM
Well, here I am in Norfolk, Virginia!  We moved from San Diego, California and took two weeks to get here.  Stopping to visit family in between and of course, we couldn't miss going to Graceland on the way. Graceland was wonderful!
I experienced a week of life in the country where roosters crowed, men on tractors drove down the road and the best thing to do on a day off is running to Walmart.  We went to a restaurant with wood picnic tables and a Cajun band playing some great music with words I could not figure out for the life of … (10 comments)

assistant: why am I still a licensed assistant? - 10/29/07 06:12 PM
I am often questioned on why I am not a real estate agent.  I suppose I could do it and quite possibly would be great at it but it isn't in my bones to follow that career path. 
I just love being an assistant.  It's what I do best.
Being a real estate agent takes a certain type of personality, being an assistant to that agent takes a completley different personality.  As an assistant, I excel in supporting someone I believe in.  The realtors I work for are hard working, knowledgeable and generous people whom I have a great deal of respect for.  They appreciate me … (3 comments)

assistant: ActiveRain protocol - 10/25/07 03:52 PM
I am fairly new to ActiveRain and want to make sure I'm using it correctly and not rubbing anyone wrong with my posts.  Is there a protocol or even just a silent rule about who posts comments on forums and blogs?  What I mean is that I am a Licensed Assistant and I suppose I'm wondering if it irritates anyone that I have been leaving a few comments on topics.  It seems that most of y'all are agents.
Please let me know if I'm crossing the line on posting.  I don't want to aggravate anyone and I certainly don't want anyone holding … (9 comments)

assistant: Observations and Opinions of a Licensed Real Estate Assistant - 10/17/07 03:24 PM
By: Diana Walkosak, Assistant to Peter and Judy Corrente, Prudential CA Realty
The La Jolla/San Diego real estate market:  True it is not the incredible market it was a couple of years ago but what most people have forgotten or perhaps didn't know is that the amazing market it was, it was not normal.  It was extraordinary.  Now, we are getting back into our normal market.  San Diego County is still a sought after area and La Jolla remains a remarkable and distinguished part of Southern California which draws buyers and investors to its shores.
The time on the market for homes has … (4 comments)
