Another day as a Personal Assistant

Another day as a personal assistant

As a Professional Personal Assistant for a local Atlanta company; I have 4 – 5 clients at a time and that is because most of my clients do not need a full time personal assistant but need someone that can help them on a part time basis.

My clients are not celebrities but successful people in their respective industries. The one thing they have in common is that they value their time and have no problem delegating tasks or chores that take away from their valuable time.

The main purpose of my job is to make my client’s life easier. My clients requests can vary from simple tasks such as dusting the furniture to more complex requests like “I am having a dinner party for 20 Friday evening, make it happen”. No matter how strange or ridiculous the requests are I am always up for the challenge.

This week my more routine requests were ironing clothes, taking the pet to the vet, placing an ad for rent. My more interesting requests were making travel arrangements to Paris and buying a gift for a 21 year old college kid.

One of the most common questions I get is how do you make so many things happen in such a limited time frame. My answer is that I rely heavily on my extensive list of contacts with various local and international service providers.
