Personal Assistants

Personal Assistant

Career options for Personal Assistants are varied, depending on the degree of career change that is acceptable. PA's have a wide range of skills and attributes, such as good verbal and written communication skills, good IT skills, and the ability to be flexible and think on their feet. See below for some of the natural career options available to Personal Assistants.

Executive Assistant

The Personal Assistant role overlaps considerably with the Executive Assistant role so this is a natural career option for those wanting to get more involved with the business side of things. Personal Assistants who have reached the top of their profession often go on to become Executive Assistants. More>>

Virtual Assistants are independent contractors who perform Personal Assistant and secretarial services for clients. As a career change option, the Virtual Assistant role is a good fit for Personal Assistants, as it will draw on current skills with little further training.

Most VA's work from home and communicate with clients by email, instant messaging, telephone, etc. A VA can operate in a number of niche sectors in the industry. Typical sectors include transcription services, event planning, virtual receptionist, and virtual secretary. More >>
