Top Personal Assistant related questions

A personal assistant should at least be of legal working age. There are no minimum educational requirements so that you can hire someone with a high school diploma or TAFE. Someone with a degree or certificate in business administration or vocational course would be ideal. You can specify what skills and level of experience you’d like when looking for a Tasker. Don’t forget to check their reviews and ratings to see if they have a good attitude too!   

Apart from the minimum qualifications, a good personal assistant is organised, punctual and professional. As their job calls for dealing with various people, good personal assistants must also have a positive attitude and excellent social skills. When booking a personal assistant, check their reviews and ratings so you can be sure to hire someone who shares your work ethic and reflects your values. 

In a way, yes. While you don’t have to train personal assistants to do the tasks they’re expected to know and perform, you can better acquaint them with the people and structure of your organisation. It would help if you introduced them to people they must deal with to get work done, like personal assistants of partner suppliers. You can instruct them in the proper protocols when dealing with other people within and outside of your business.  

Yes! Your assistant can handle this and send your clothes to the cleaners. They can do this and many other odd jobs, as long as they are reasonable. You can request your personal assistant to do this and other assignments. Remember that your assistant has to juggle your daily work schedule, fix your appointments, and sometimes take notes during your meetings. 

In most cases, no. If your office needs cleaning, you can assign them the task unless they take the initiative and find someone to do the cleaning for you. While it’s true that personal assistants can do the occasional odd job if requested, cleaning or fixing anything themselves is beyond their expected skillset.

Remember that aside from handling your daily itinerary at work, a personal assistant takes calls and interacts with people - they should have excellent oral and written communication skills. Apart from these, a personal assistant should have good organisational skills, flexibility, diplomacy, integrity, and trustworthiness. There may be cases where you may become privy to confidential or sensitive information.

What do personal assistant services include?

Personal assistant services include all the activities necessary to manage your daily and weekly work schedule. This can include scheduling meetings and individual activities, organising events, note-taking, and writing and sending emails on your behalf. 

This can be a private personal assistant who can take care of all the minor tasks and details of your workday, so you can free up your time and energy to do more critical tasks. 

Scheduling meetings

Your hired Tasker can schedule your meetings for the day or week. They can contact and inform the persons involved. Apart from booking the venue, your Tasker can handle other details like ensuring the proper meals or snacks are served during or after the meeting. Your Tasker can inform you of your weekly or daily scheduled conferences upon request. 

Managing meetings

Your Tasker can make sure your meetings go smoothly. Upon request, they can take notes and record the meeting minutes, then provide you with a transcript afterwards. Should unexpected interruptions arise, your Tasker can handle them so your appointment can proceed as scheduled.  

Organising events

Should you plan to host a corporate or office event, your Tasker may not handle it themselves, but they can get someone to handle the event for you. Your Tasker can organise on your behalf after you’ve briefed them on your organisation’s needs. Be sure to provide crucial details like the budget, schedule, venue, purpose, guests to invite and people you want to be involved in the production, if appropriate.   

Doing business correspondence

Your personal assistant Tasker can also handle your business emails, letters and similar correspondence. After you brief them on the content, purpose and recipients, they can write and send emails on your behalf. Your Tasker can update you on any replies to important emails or letters. 

Miscellaneous errands

Your personal assistant Tasker can receive unscheduled visitors and screen your phone calls as part of day-to-day operations. They can also do various tasks like facilitating office equipment repair, receiving your mail, food deliveries, bills, and other items on your behalf. Speaking of food deliveries, some Taskers can order your food or even get your morning or afternoon coffee delivery upon request.

I need someone to help me with general personal administration tasks, examples such as fixing up my Link toll account which has stopped working, responding to queries from my accountant, sorting and actioning my mail, etc. You will be able to carry most of it out from home, but you'll likely need to come and visit me once every week or two to collect paperwork or other tasks. I'm guessing there is probably a couple of hours a week in it and it can be done any hour of the day. - Due date: Flexible

Bargara QLD, Australia

7th Jan 2024

I am a retired biomechanics professor, and just moved to Bargara. I am converting our garage into a home office for my work with the International Anti-Slavery Commission working against human trafficking and modern slavery, and need an assistant. This is an IN PERSON position (not remote, sorry) for an experienced person with a background in office work/computing/emails/public service in what will be the new home office in our home in Bargara. I have literally just moved in, so the office isn't even set up yet - but it soon will be. I need help in just about every aspect of my work, such as: 1. All administrative tasks, such as answering emails 2. Sending pre-formatted letters to government departments and corporations around the world 3. Assistance with fundraising and promotional events 4. Assistance developing and promoting our anti-slavery & anti-human trafficking education programs 5. Attracting and inspiring volunteers 6. Bringing new ideas to help educate the public about human trafficking and modern slavery, and especially checking for green barcodes when we shop (e.g. 40% of all tinned seafood is fished by slaves). Just Google "Haribo Gummy Bears" and "Slavery" and see what you find. It's horrific. 50 million slaves are making the very clothes you and I are wearing right now, the computer I'm typing this on, and the minerals to develop it. Instead of a job that is meaningless - our work could really change the world. The position is 10 hours per week - and the hours to suit you. Any day or time at all to fit in with you. Weekends are also fine. The hourly rate is $40 - hence the $400 listed, however this is an ONGOING position. Let's change the world together and end slavery. - Due date: Flexible

Kane originally helped with our AirBnB business but showed such great potential, we also offered him this job involving administration, research, email, correspondence, phone communication, and knowledge of Excel, Google Suite, etc. This is his second job with us and we are about to offer him a third. There is no better recommendation than being repeatedly asked back. Kane does this job with ease, and we are happy to have him again.
