"Google Drive is, by far, my favorite tool because it has saved me significant time and effort throughout my post-secondary education. I can share documents, store files, and access them from any device. I can see many ways in which GDrive could be helpful in an office setting. Could you share with me what type of apps or tech resources I would be leaning on the most in this administrative role? I would be happy to get a head start on learning if I have not used them in the past."

"As an Admin Assistant for a smaller company, I am also the social media manager. I have found that Hootsuite has been a lifesaver for me when it comes to planning our company's social content, and dispersing it amongst a variety of platforms. Right now, I am also pretty obsessed with the Evernote application. The app keeps my notes and documents updated and synched on all devices. Whether I am at my desktop or have my tablet in a meeting, I know that my notes are accessible. I would love to know what tools and resources are used most often in this office."
