More notes on being a PA:
To be a good PA-
1. Be a good listener. You may even want to keep a small notebook and pencil in your pocket.
2. Be responsible and do your job. You are easy to replace.
3. Learn as much as you can. This is a great opportunity to learn about the different departments and what they do.
4. Don't complain. (See number 2)
