Qualities To Look
For
Different qualities are important to different people. Here are some traits you may want
to think about as you consider and make contacts with potential PA's. You have to decide
what is the most important for you based on your personality and the tasks you need done
and how often you are going to have contact with the PA. Don't try to white knuckle it
with a person you don't feel good about.
Some qualities you may want to consider:
- Punctual: being on time
- Dependable: being on time consistently
- Helpful: willing to do things rather than acting burdened by your
requests
- Goal oriented: wanting to get things done
- Honest: someone you can trust your physical safety to, as well as
property
- Organized: not chaotic
- Clean and Neat: keeps things picked up and sanitary
- Take direction: not argumentative thinking their own way is the only
way, open to different ways of doing things
- Communicative: easy to talk with, not defensive about discussing
difficulties when they arise
- Direct: doesn't play games and doesn't expect you to either
- Understanding: having compassion
- Flexible: stable yet not chaotic, can respond to realistic
circumstances and changes
- Patient: doesn't get bothered if things take longer than normal
