You need to show initiative and responsibility through your work and your personality. Therefore, if you are looking to get ahead in life then you need to be properly prepared and equipped.

First, it is always a good idea to load up on pocket protectors. Pocket protectors give all of your presentations a final and finished look while also keeping the pages clean and undamaged. Then it is always wise to separate all of your information with binder tabs so that you and your client can find the information that you need whenever you need it. You do not want to look unprepared during a presentation if someone asks you a question you want to be able to give him or her answer as soon as possible.
Of course, you are going to need something to put your presentation in, to keep it together and organized. If it is only a small document and not to many pages then it will nicely fit into a report cover. However, if it is a decent size document then you are better off getting a binder. Binders come in different sizes; they range in size by the inch.
Another way of keeping some of your papers together is with a good old-fashioned stapler. Staplers have been around for ages, and everyone knows the stapler goes hand in hand with staples. Having one without the other would not do you any good; it takes both to do the job. There are different staplers for different jobs, for your needs you will just need an average desk stapler.
However, one of the most essential office supply that you will ever use is the post it. Post its are going to become your best friend at the office. There is no easier way of putting down a thought about something to do or remember then on one of those little pads of adhesive paper. They come in a variety of sizes, colors, shapes and some even have lines on them. There is a post it for every need. With these basic supplies, you are laying down a sturdy foundation to your career success.
