A micromanaging boss can make work stressful. Build trust by proactively updating them on progress:
‘Hi, I’ve completed X, and Y is on track for tomorrow. Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to review.’
What’s your approach to managing up?

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
