Overview
A personal assistant (PA) is responsible for providing administrative and clerical support to an individual or sometimes a team. Job duties typically include managing schedules, organizing meetings and appointments, making travel arrangements, handling correspondence, conducting research, and performing various other tasks to help streamline the individual’s daily activities and maximize their efficiency. Personal assistants often need to possess strong organizational, communication, and time management skills, as well as discretion and professionalism, since they may have access to sensitive information and interact closely with their employer’s contacts and associates.9
