Course Description
Do you enjoy a dynamic, ever-changing workday? If so, the role of Personal Assistant may be perfect for you!
Busy and highly successful people don't have time for all the small, time-consuming, everyday chores most of us consider unavoidable. Instead of allowing such things to interfere, they hire dedicated professionals to manage mundane tasks so they can focus on their own career.
If you've ever wondered what a high-level personal assistant does during a typical workday or considered a career as a "right hand" to a wealthy or famous person, this course is for you. In 14 lessons, you'll learn what types of individuals hire personal assistants, how to prepare and present yourself when seeking a PA position, what to expect during a typical workday, how to create your own "PA tool kit," how to manage your employer's household, the importance of discretion, and much more.
If you enjoy a fast-paced, ever-changing work life, feel comfortable interacting with high-level individuals, and yearn for unique professional experiences, explore your options as a professional personal assistant with this informative course.
