Happy Administrative Professional's Day!

Posted by Karry Brothers on Apr 22, 2015 2:30:00 PM

Administrative Professionals’ Day, formerly known as Secretaries’ Day, is observed annually in the United States on Wednesday of the last full week of April. Long before this holiday was first established in 1952, Mildred Elley has been on the cutting edge of training students for administrative careers in the Albany, New York area. Since Mrs. Elley began to train students in shorthand and typing skills in her Quail Street home in 1917, thousands of students have graduated from the school with the skill sets necessary to provide administrative support in a great variety of settings.

The Top 5 Interpersonal Communications Skills for Job Hunters

Posted by Karry Brothers on Dec 14, 2012 11:40:00 AM

  • Tweet

A while ago I was listening to a Mildred Elley graduate lament to several of us about not being able to land a job. She graduated with A’s and B’s in her classes and had great technical skills.

Yesterday was the Boston Marathon.  I was watching some updates yesterday afternoon and saw that one particular runner I was following had just hit the halfway point.  She had run 13.1 miles, and had 13.1 ahead of her. I wondered how she was feeling.  She was so close to her goal, but with all the effort she had put out, she probably felt further away than when she started.
