Industries

An assistant for a car dealership has to answer different questions than one for a law firm or a hotel. This category uses specific industries to show which enquiries really occur and how an assistant is prepared for them: the typical questions and wording customers use, the information the business has to supply, sensible handover points to staff and industry-specific mandatory information. Among others we cover retail and trades, real estate, health professions, hospitality, law and consulting firms, and software and service companies. Every article describes the starting position, a possible division of tasks and the limits — so expectations of an assistant match the industry. We additionally look at which business information needs regular updating so answers keep matching reality.
