I'm working full-time as an Administrative Executive at AIA for my friend / manager's agency.
Started out as a part-timer in October and November before I took a break and returned back in January as a full-timer. I know my role is supposed to be the secretary for my friend but it has been slightly overwhelming these past few weeks.
The first week I started, I had to begin sorting out all the backlog and clear it while still assisting my manager with her new cases and new clients. At the same time, I assisted her in planning her wedding, trying to keep track of her checklist and updating her constantly. Then it was Chinese New Year and I had to filter out 120 of her Chinese clients out of her 450 plus client list, contact them and double check their address and sent out Chinese New Year cards to all of them and 50 goodies to them, on top of my normal duties.
After Chinese New Year, I found out that my manager will be in-charge for this year's roadshow. Just when I thought I had the chance to relax, I have another list of responsibilities to do. Last week, my manager got informed that IRAS wants to her to submit her 2011, 2012 and 2013 income for them to go through.
On top of my normal duties, I have to assist her in her wedding, I have to sort out, plan and do the budgeting for the roadshows for the entire year and lastly, I have to do her income.
I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed but I'll be okay.
