Hi

Was wondering if anyone has any advice, I have a job interview this evening for a PA post to two directors of a copmany.  Any good advice on dealing with this or what you would expect?

Thanks

My job description and advertisement for my role as a PA is completely different to the job I carry out, since starting my post the role has changed considerably but this has not been reflected in the official job 'description'.  Dont think too many jobs conform to the descriptions and are ad-hoc so to speak.

Have just started by asking on DD.  Have got some interest but gauging whether this would be enough to run events etc.  Hopefull it will and events will be able to be organised for NI.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your information, sounds like there might be an opportunity to organise something for PA & EA in Northern Ireland.  Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks for your info.  I was thinking along the lines of organising events such as talks and training etc, most events are held in London or surrounding areas and I was thinking of trying to organise events for Northern Ireland.  If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Thanks.

Hi

I am considering trying to set up a PA network in Northern Ireland.  Has anyone any suggestions on how to do this and how I would ascertain if there would be any interest.

Any suggestions welcome.

Hi G

Thanks for your reply.  At the minute I feel that it is time for a change and would like to gain experience outside of NI and try a further my career with the possibility of either staying in the UK or moving back to NI several years down the line.  I would like to gain experience working in different environments and others have also said that travelling would be a good way to go.  I am glad to hear it worked out for you so heres hoping!.

Thanks for your reply.  I am considering trying to move to Scotland, so if anyone has any tips or advice they would be most welcome.  

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.  I work as a PA in Northern Ireland and am considering moving abroad to the UK to work, has anyone done this or do they know of any companies who would be willing to employ on this basis.  I feel stuck in a rut at times in my job and some days feel like nothing more than a glorified typist.  I want an exicting job, one that is busy and where I can be more productive etc.

Well thats my moaning over, thanks and look forward to any replies.

Hi

Can anyone suggest a solution to the following.  I am a PA for several directors and keep getting telephone survey / sales calls, they will not give me any information and insist on speaking with a particular person, who I know does not want to speak to them as it is a waste of their time.  I apprieciate they have a job to do as well, but how I do I get my point across to stop phoning.  I have tried asking them to put it into writing etc but again they refuse.

Please help!!
