Job Outlook for Personal Assistant
Powered by Glassdoor Economic ResearchPersonal assistants support a specific individual with their personal or professional tasks. No formal education, certification or training is required, although organizational and communication skills are necessary. Same day-to-day tasks might include paying bills, scheduling travel, answering phone calls and texts and running errands. In the last decade, there has been an increase in all-remote opportunities that allow personal assistants to work from home while splitting their time between multiple individuals.
