Asked by A C
This personal assistant will be doing a little bit of everything. We are a fast growing internet development company.

Best Answer:
Having been a legal secretary for 14 years, I can tell you a little about this. I would say to look for character of the person first. No matter what skills s/he possesses, if s/he doesn't care about quality of work, showing up to work and being prompt, you will have problems. Another quality to look for is enjoying the work s/he will be doing. If the person hates that type of work, it will be difficult to carry it out everyday with the dedication and attitude it deserves. Also important would be to look for someone who has a personality which fits with the person s/he will be working for and will also fit with corporate atmosphere. In addition, I would check references and test skills. To know what skills you should look for, first prepare a job description of what the person will need to do and then look at the skills required to perform them. I would then rate them by importance. Make a list of must-haves for this job and only interview candidates with those skills (or at least those who could easily learn them).

Must haves: 1) weight proportional to height; ( i.e.must fit in a phone booth ) 2) Nice Ta Ta 's 3) a J-Lo butt
