Know Your Worth.

Be aware of what duties are expected of you. Keep track if more responsibilities are added, and charge accordingly. Pay attention to details. It's all about the details.
September 2014
Use This Job As A Stepping Stone To A Higher Position.
Personal Assistant:
Pros: It's great working for just one person or a small close group.
It can be a great way to gain experience from a successful person and move into a higher role.
Cons: It can be very stressful. If you don't get along with your boss it's a much bigger deal than not getting along with your boss in a large company since you're working closely with that one person.
It can be dissatisfying doing a lot of hard work for someone else and seeing them reap the benefits whilst you're only paid a salary with small commission.
