How to use "Assistant" in context?
There is no one "perfect" definition of an "assistant" and the role can vary greatly depending on the individual's job and experience. Generally, assistants are people who help their bosses or managers with their work, by carrying out specific tasks or providing support.
Assistant roles can vary enormously, from administrative assistant positions which require little or no independent work, to more hands-on roles such as office support staff and production assistants. In many cases, assistants will have prior experience in the field they are working in, which will help them to be able to carry out their tasks more quickly and efficiently.
