Respected all,
I am working as an EXECUTIVE SECRETARY in a US-based company. I will be working in the evening hours (IST) only. Most probably, during the morning sessions, I would be simply sitting and surfing the net :cry: :cry: Now, I don't want to waste my time simply being idle :? :? Can you seniors guide me in the right way so that my time will be used effectively?
Thanks with Regards,

Hi Arunaa,
As mentioned by Hari, updating yourself is the best thing that you can do in your free time. Anyways, if you have contacts and an interest in recruitment, you can try doing some freelance recruitment or any other freelance jobs. Just browse a few websites and try to find out...
ALL THE BEST...

Hi all,
I can go with Hari's idea, but I should be inside the office premises, and I can't go with those 4 points. As of now, I am searching CiteHR and downloading various information and looking at it to update myself. But I need some more information that I can access within the office.
Thanks a lot for those valuable ideas.

Dear Arunaa,
Wow, Ravi!
What a great idea! 🤯
But Ravi, I am not looking for activities that will just keep me busy. I want to use my time resourcefully to learn something new and develop myself. I hope you can assist me with this. 😢

Hi Ravi,
My role involves reporting and maintaining my CEO's (who is in the US) schedule. I am also designated as a Project Coordinator, wherein I will report project-related issues to my IT Manager, who is also in the US. I will then relay the issues to the developers and other relevant individuals. Additionally, I will schedule appointments for company staff to meet with my CEO and manage the timings. I will assist the IT Manager, India CEO, and Project Leader with paperwork. Furthermore, I will support my HR Manager with various assignments. Our company is currently engaged in H1B Visa processing, for which I will contact candidates and arrange meetings with my CEO, who is based in the US.

Hi,
You should enroll in a distance learning course, preferably in HR (or any other faculty of your choice). You can study during morning hours. Symbiosis in Pune could be a good option to consider. Utilize the internet to your maximum benefit for learning through e-modules and reference course materials.
Exploring CiteHR is beneficial. However, enrolling in a course will provide a more structured and value-adding experience to your career.

Hi Hiten,
I have just completed my +2 in 2005, and now I am pursuing BCA second year through correspondence. I can't pursue one more degree. Do you have any other ideas for me, please?

I think that since the company is paying for your time, you have to work for the benefit of the company. You can change your work timing to match the US. You can spend the morning session preparing for your afternoon sessions, improving your performance. Pick up skills that will be useful for your job. If the work does not require 8 hours, you can consider it as a part-time job (renegotiate your contract) and take up some other part-time work.

Ravi sir,
I'm also thinking the same, but the exact problem I have is that I feel like I am simply wasting my time and my company's resources by just sitting idly... ☹️☹️☹️
I don't know whether I am right or wrong. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I want to be a person with extraordinary skills. I want to develop myself in such a way. That's why I am requesting help from you seniors. Could you please help me in a way that I can expand my knowledge? 🤔

Hi Arunaa,
I am also working as an Executive Secretary in an MNC. I suggest giving some time to the Administration department/HR department. It will improve your in-house skills and prepare you to become a good administrator or AM (P&A) in the future.

Speak to your boss about it. First, he will be impressed that at least somebody is there who wants to work and is utilizing her time. Secondly, he/she will give you a solution to it. Don't you think it will be more relevant?

Hi Bankim,
Nice to hear from you all. But it's too little time; I'll be in my home. I'll be reaching my home at 10 pm (IST), so I can't engage myself with those activities. Anyways, thanks a lot. If needed, I'll contact you for sure.

Aruna,
Maybe it's too early for you to go to work. Graduation is very important, so finish graduation first. Anyways, there are many HR professionals who are underqualified, but just because of their communication skills, they are in the market. So, focus on increasing your knowledge. In the long run, it's not good; you need to have a good education.
Since you want to pursue extraordinary studies and acquire education, which is the most powerful of all! 😉

Hi Aruna,
An idle person's brain is a devil's workshop. You could look around and choose to do the following:
1. Improvise and improve current processes.
2. Since you coordinate projects, you can learn MS Project, which is great software that will help you in maintaining and tracking projects.
3. Go for a skill-based course - a secretarial course (if you have not done one already).
4. Work on your self-inventory - grooming, personality, and presentation skills.
5. Build up your self-esteem and confidence levels.
Good luck.
