Personal Assistant
FAQ's
How can a Personal Assistant make
me more efficient?
An experienced professional personal
assistant is a busy professional's greatest resource and asset.
In addition to handling the personal must-do items on your To-Do
list, a resourceful, business savvy personal assistant can identify
potential clients and business opportunities that help you reach
your professional goals and ensure you meet your contractual obligations
by ensuring you never miss a critical deadline. Effective
utilization of your personal assistant saves you both time and
money by ensuring that your personal & business affairs run
smoothly.
How do I begin working with my Personal Assistant?
Outsource! Assign to your personal assistant
any task that is not essential for you to carry out yourself.
Unlike typical administrative positions, the job duties of a personal
assistant do not fit neatly inside a box. You define the role
your assistant will play in managing your life. The ways in which
a personal assistant can help you are limited only by the constraints
of your imagination!
First, think about the tasks that usurp most
of your time. Decide which tasks are reasonable to delegate to
your assistant. This task list is the "initial draft"
of your job description. Once you and your assistant begin working
more closely together you'll find yourself delegating to her (or
him) more and more.
What skills should I look for in a Personal Assistant?
Trust is a very important factor when working with a personal
assistant. Therefore, you should look for a trustworthy individual
with a clean criminal record. You should additionally look for
someone who is mature, resourceful, computer savvy, and has the
ability to maintain confidentiality. Finally, to be successful,
any personal assistant must have prior professional administrative
work experience with a demonstrated ability to handle multiple
tasks. If the personal assistant will also handle your business
affairs, you should look for an individual that has specific work
experience in your business field.
