Practically Perfect PA

DECEMBER 5, 2011

I decided to leave my previous employee in June 2010 but was job hunting for 6 months and when I did get the role I am in currently I had to complete a detailed application form, attend three interviews and sit two psychometric tests (for language and numerical skills).

So much of what we do is automatic, like riding a bike, so using my PA skill set really helped me in those initial months. A PA should have excellent judgement and initiative when required; seeking out help from established PAs in the company is a great example of this.
