Event Details
OVERVIEW: Celebrities write books, direct movies, star on television
shows, and run giant corporations, so they are left with very little
time to make dinner reservations, shop for birthday gifts, pick up the
dry cleaning, and answer the telephone. That's where a personal
assistant comes in. These machines of modern business are a hybrid of
secretary, project manager and confidante to their employer.
Assistants are demanding more responsibility, autonomy and
recognition; and they’re getting it. Let CPAI, the industry's FIRST
"Staffing Agency to the Stars," provide you with tips, case studies,
specific how-to information; and a road-map that is sure to lead to
success!
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Corporate professionals seeking a career change,
recent college graduates or anyone interested in learning key
attributes and skills that set today’s Assistant apart. This workshop
will provide attendees with the requisite information to be
triumphant.
