Do you ever look at admin. professionals you admire, and wonder how they pull and keep it all together? Or how the professional life of a North American EA compares with that of a European Management Assistant or an EA or PA from other countries and continents?
Exceptional EA is pleased to launch Real Careers, in which EAs, Management Assistants, PAs and other administrators from around the globe generously share a bit of their lives and the benefit of their experience. We begin with a virtual trip to South Africa, and a visit with Anel Martin.
Anel Martin, CAP-OM, is Personal Assistant to the Managing Executive of Sales and Distribution (Mobile and Consumer), Telekom South Africa. To have a look at Anel’s world and the insights she’s gained, follow the drop-down lists under Real Careers, or click here for the full article.
I noticed that there seem to be no EAs from Germany featured. Why?
Angela, thanks for writing, and for your question.
I launched Real Careers late last month and am pleased to have been able to showcase people from seven countries to date, drawing upon people I know firsthand, as well as Twitter followers and others referred to me.
Intent is to include administrators from as many countries as possible, and just this morning I connected on LinkedIn with a Berlin EA who is interested in being featured.
If you’re interested, and/or would like to recommend someone, let’s connect on Twitter and then we can proceed from there via DM. Alternately, feel free to email me at ExceptionalEAs@gmail.com.
Have a lovely weekend.
