PERSONAL ASSISTANT POLICY
A PA needs to be capable of completely dealing with situations in the senior's absence, and should be confident enough to commission work on their superior's behalf. Maintaining confidentiality is a fundamental requirement for a PA. You should be calm and able to think on your own feet. You will be expected to follow instruction from your senior and your ability to understand those instructions with little or no follow up will be appreciated by your senior.
