initiative is outstanding; Clara actively seeks out administrative projects during quiet hours rather than waiting
to be tasked.

CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK & AREAS FOR GROWTH
To prepare for a progression into an Office Manager or Executive Assistant role, Clara should focus on the
following developmental areas:
Advanced Software Proficiency:
Clara has mastered the tools required for the front desk (Outlook, Envoy). To
transition into an EA role, she should proactively seek cross-training on advanced corporate platforms,
specifically SAP Concur for expense reporting and Boardvantage for presentation distribution.
Vendor Negotiation Skills:
Clara effectively places orders for pantry and office supplies, but she currently
accepts listed vendor pricing by default. She should work with the Facilities Manager to learn basic negotiation
tactics, practicing how to request bulk discounts or volume rebates from our primary stationary and catering
partners.
