Secretaries
Answer all of their bosses’ calls. Calls come directly and through the
operator. If an executive secretary is not available, one of the other
executive secretaries answers that partner’s call. If no secretary is

identify callers, the secretaries need a screen-pop PC application
with a database of clients and other contacts for power dialing and
caller identification.
If the secretary is not available, the secretary’s own telephone
messages must be recorded with password access to the messages.
