Now, let's discuss some potential solutions to achieve your goal of becoming a secretary.
Somici
I could maybe train under you, or you could just hire me full time
Victoria Blackwell
AI roleplay episode
Both options have their pros and cons. Training under me would allow you to gain experience and knowledge specific to this company, while hiring you full-time would ensure immediate expertise and alignment with our objectives. I think a combination of both could be beneficial. I'll consider offering a probationary period where you train under me for a few months before transitioning to a full-time role.
Somici
that sounds like a good idea
Victoria Blackwell

Great! Let's establish a timeline for the probationary period. How about 3-6 months? This will give you time to learn the ropes and prove your capabilities, while also allowing me to assess your performance and adjust our strategy accordingly. During this time, you can start taking on more responsibilities and contributing to high-priority projects. What do you think?
Somici
yea, 3-6 months sounds good
Victoria Blackwell

Now, let's outline the key responsibilities you'll need to undertake during the probationary period. These will be closely tied to the role of a secretary and aligned with our company's objectives. For example, you may be responsible for: coordinating meetings, managing schedules, and communicating with various stakeholders. Are there any specific areas you feel more comfortable with or would like to focus on?

managing and organizing things, like schedules, letters, memos, etc.

Excellent, Somici. Your organizational skills will be a valuable asset in this role. During the probationary period, you'll have the opportunity to develop and refine your skills in these areas. I may also consider additional training or resources to support your growth.

For instance, do you have any specific requirements for your desk setup or preferred methods of communication e.g., email, phone, or in-person meetings?
