Hi Gena,
Look at training opportunities. What skills would be impactful for your work that you could take advantage of in training? Is there professional development support at your organization to take advantage of? Using your Association of Administrative Professionals membership to further your career, there are lots of training opportunities.
It is always an advantage to learn more about your organization, what is their vision, and short and long-term goals and how can you in your role support those.
Any position has an opportunity to grow to learn. We are in an ever-changing world and change is occurring much more frequently. Change management and support can be a goal as well.
Good luck with your career.

Subject: goals for new positions
Hello,
I am coming to my 6th-month evaluation but truly it's only been 4 months as I've been off for medical reasons. My Executive officer has asked that I come with some measurable goals. Truly I have no idea what to tell her. I'm at a loss. I'm not sure how to grow in this position. Does anyone have any suggestions for goals for someone new in an Executive Assistant position, 3 month probation, 6th month and beyond. I don't want to walk in and appear as if I don't want to grow but I really have no idea. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
