Virtual Assistants

Behind every manager or company director you'll find an organised, efficient personal assistant. A personal assistant also referred to as personal aide (PA) or personal secretary (PS) is a job title describing a person who assists a specific person with their daily business or personal tasks.

As a personal assistant (PA) you'll work closely with senior managerial or directorial staff to provide administrative support, usually on a one-to-one basis. You'll help a manager to make the best use of their time by dealing with secretarial and administrative tasks.

PAs need extensive knowledge of the organisation in which they work. You'll need to know who key personnel are, both external and internal, and understand the organisation's aims and objectives.

Managers often rely heavily on their PA, trusting that work will be handled efficiently in their absence. Discretion and confidentiality are therefore essential attributes of a successful PA.

A personal assistant is sometimes called an executive secretary, as well as a personal or private
secretary.

Responsibilities

As a PA, you're often a manager's first point of contact with people from both inside and outside the organisation. Tasks are likely to include:

• Devising/maintaining office systems,
  including data management and filing
• Arranging travel, visas and
  accommodation, and occasionally travelling
  with the manager to take notes
  or dictation at meetings or to provide
  general assistance during presentations
• screening phone calls, v enquiries and requests,
  and handling them when appropriate



• meeting and greeting visitors
  at all levels of seniority
• organising and maintaining
  diaries and making appointments
• dealing with incoming email,
  faxes and post, often corresponding
  on behalf of the manager



• carrying out background research
  and presenting findings
• producing documents,
  briefing papers,
  reports and presentations
• organising and attending meetings
  and ensuring the manager
  is well prepared for meetings



• Liaising with clients,
  suppliers and other staff.
