Career Options for
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>>

Celebrity Personal Assistant

The Celebrity Personal Assistant position brings glamour to the PA role. One of the biggest challenges however, is finding the relevant vacancies. Tenacity is a must. More >>

Virtual Assistant

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 >>

Event Planner

Event Planning is one of the required skills of a Personal Assistant, so this is a great career option for a PA. A good knowledge of advertising, marketing and media relations is essential, as is good numeracy skills and attention to detail. Event Planners are typically degree educated; some to masters degree level. More >>

The Life Coach profession has seen significant growth in recent years. As the industry is unregulated, this is a good option for a career change. A Life Coach can specialise in a number of areas, such as retirement, parenting, relationships, or sports.

Motivational techniques, action plans and other methods are used to achieve the desired results - clients typically want assistance to organise their private life or career. With 30 minute coaching sessions commanding £50-£75, and corporate sessions commanding over £250, a career as a Life Coach can be fulfilling and financially rewarding. More >>
