1 hr confidence:
she's the only worker in the office Explanation: or the only secretary - there are other staff but they are either out in the field or doing the Immobilienberaturn in their own offices; she's the one person doing secretarial support. She can still be an Assistentin to the various Berater, but there isn't other office help. Fairly common set-up - I've worked for estate agents, solicitors etc. where a group of "professionals" share one secretary or receptionist. Haven't yet thought of a neat way of saying it in English though. |
