Become a Celebrity Personal Assistant: Online Workshop (TM): Learn how to become an Assistant to the Stars (November 29, 2006)

OVERVIEW: Celebrities write books, direct movies, star on television shows, and run giant corporations, so they are left with very little time to make dinner reservations, shop for birthday gifts, pick up the dry cleaning, and answer the telephone. That's where a personal assistant comes in. These machines of modern business are a hybrid of secretary, project manager and confidante to their employer. Assistants are demanding more responsibility, autonomy and recognition; and they’re getting it. Let CPAI, the industry's FIRST "Staffing Agency to the Stars," provide you with tips, case studies, specific how-to information; and a road-map that is sure to lead to success!

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Corporate professionals seeking a career change, recent college graduates or anyone interested in learning key attributes and skills that set today’s Assistant apart. This workshop will provide attendees with the requisite information to be triumphant.
