Looking for a personal assistant? 

Is having a personal assistant a privilege reserved for big bosses or stars? Not at all! With the democratization of made-to-measure assistance in France, more and more people are turning to a personal assistant to help them stop running out of time. Yes, lack of time is certainly the evil of our century and our hectic lives.

Whether it's your professional or personal life, the personal assistant adapts to your daily routine and responds to your needs, discreetly. The only thing you have to do on your side? Learn to delegate!

What is a Personal Assistant?

The profession of personal assistant was imported from Anglo-Saxon countries and is now spreading to France. The personal assistant supports a person in both a private and professional capacity. Their main role is to free up time for their managers, so that they can devote themselves solely to their core business, without worrying about all the ancillary activities.

But what does a Personal Assistant actually do?

This type of work is very similar to that carried out by an administrative or executive assistant, and includes managing the manager's diary (making appointments, managing meetings), drafting reports, helping with decision-making, etc.

‍

But the personal assistant's mission goes even further, as he or she will take into account the private needs of the person in charge, with tasks such as restaurant reservations, vacation organization, mail management and the purchase of personal products... The personal assistant can deal with any type of request and has no real limits in his or her support, except yours.

And what's its role?

The role of a personal assistant is to take charge of the day-to-day management of employees' lives. It's a life facilitator who will fit personal and professional aspects into a perfectly oiled agenda.

Its objective is to free the employee's mental load by taking care of : 

• agenda management
• correspondence follow-up
• organization and planning of travel and events
• making an appointment
• monitoring daily life

What makes a good personal assistant?

Personal assistants work closely with company employees, and particularly with management and top management. There is no specific diploma for this role, but many soft skills are required:

• Organized
• Discreet
• Listening
• Empathetic
• Versatile
• Resourceful
• Reliable
