Assistants are the most versatile and expendable workers on the station. They are recommended to new-comers who have read the tutorial and are still getting their space legs.
Assistants begin their shift in Primary Tool Storage, where they can acquire some basic tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches. If they are charismatic or lucky, the Head of Personnel can add more access to your Identification Card. With more access and perhaps a custom job title, perhaps you can find a purpose on the station at last.
Sometimes you are a God among men and sometimes you are dead within twelve seconds of round start. It all depends on how you set up and the luck of the station.

It's easy to stay under the radar as an assistant, as you have the least-respected job on the station (aside from that other guy), plus much-coveted maintenance access. Loot a belt and budget insulated gloves from Primary Tool Storage if you can and set out!
The number one advantage of traitor assistant is your opponent's arrogance. Security and other crew members will typically assume you are inexperienced or stupid, so surprise them with your knowledge of the game's mechanics.
This doesn't mean you won't run into a particularly savvy security member who knows the potential danger of an assistant, though. Keep alert at all times. In the rare case that someone actually asks you to assist them, draw them into a quiet place and execute them.
