SEPTEMBER 13, 2021

In an effort to sound gracefully diplomatic during a grad school interview, I found myself referencing that particular experience in terms of “teachable moments,” a buzzy phrase I’d never used before in my life that suddenly made a lot of sense. I worked very well with one of my first managers, but I was definitely one of her favorites.

As a PA or EA, your ability to handle confidential subjects, issues, emails and documents is essential. And increasingly, PAs are asked in job interviews how they approach the issue of confidentiality. The issue of confidentiality is especially pertinent when it comes to handling emails and electronic documents.

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog on how to work effectively in an open plan office and I did touch on this subject but considering we often get asked in interviews how we maintain confidentiality I felt it was well worth revisiting this crucial skill. Confidential electronic documents (anything that is visible on your computer screen).

I was interviewed by the lovely Elena Aylott from EMEA East about my blog and social media in general. I’ve actually written a few blogs on how to work with confidential documents and not being the office gossip. Last week I was asked to speak to a group of assistants in Sweden about personal branding.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

MAY 24, 2013

I passed the HR interview and I am waiting for the answer from the CEO interview. I had 2 initial interviews or tests before I came down to meeting the CEO. It’s best not to gossip or form secret alliances. They have helped me so much but I still have concerns. I am scared, VERY scared I've volunteered a lot.
