Describe the activities you can complete during your manager's absence

What will be an ideal response?

During your manager's absence, demonstrate your initiative, responsibility, and dependability. If your manager
calls you during his absence from the office, be prepared to report events, important mail, and telephone calls.
While he or she is away, you may be asked to review faxes or other incoming mail to determine if any of the
information is urgent and needs to be handled by either you or the acting manager. You also may be asked to attend
meetings in the absence of your manager. Be prepared to brief him or her on the results/actions of these meetings.
If special delivery mail arrives, log this mail so you can report this information to your manager upon his or her
return.
