Go with the Strata Managers to the AGM’s and EGM’s

Learning how to run a meeting is one of the largest challenges in the transition from assistant to manager.

Get your licence

While you have some time, it's better not to delay if you want to run your own portfolio.

Work like you want it

By showing initiative and asking for more work, you will rise through the ranks quicker.

Learn to budget

What is a balance sheet? This is an answer that a lot of people get wrong in interviews. Learn your technical language.

Let go of the attitude and be a team player

Sure, you may be a great Assistant, but if you don't offer support when and where necessary, you will lose your seat to the person who is happy to help where they can.

Ask

Many companies will have smaller buildings with few facilities that will make it easier for you to start out. If you don't ask, you won't receive.
