"To become a successful assistant you need to be interested in everything that is going on around you, and to constantly try to learn and understand what the other responsibilities are. Continuous development/learning is the best way to be successful and you should not be afraid to get involved with project work even if it is outside your remit." - Brigitte Thethy
