Get the perfect Summer Holiday (and have your work done!)

To give you the perfect summer holiday why not use a freelance secretary? Everybody needs a holiday - even in the current economic climate so get someone in to help with your admin – just to give you some time away from the office! With the last long weekend of the summer approaching many are wondering how they can leave their work when they are away when they do not have anyone working in their office! SIMPLE!!
This is where freelance secretaries like me come into their own. Unlike an employment or temp agency I work on a completely flexible basis providing as much or as little cover as is needed so you can take that well earned break! Go on make that call There is a bank holiday weekend looming - go on have that well deserved break!

20 things that can be done in an hour

General Office
1. Stop a pile of papers from overflowing by sorting them into areas to be filed.

3. Organize a stack of messy files, label them and return them to you ready to drop into a file drawer (a good start can be made in one hour)

Documents

5. Create correspondence for a client or prospect.
6. Edit and proof a report – probably around 4/5 pages.
7. Type handwritten notes.
