As an Executive Assistant, Your day will usually go around checking your Executive's calendar for today's agenda. You must keep in mind that your executive's time is precious and limited so you need to know what's important and how to balance it all. Meanwhile, in terms of emails, you- re exposed daily to highly confidential information, so you- re expected to be tactful and pragmatic. Expect that you will be doing a lot of tasks which implement company-wide initiatives, and coordinating with everyone. So prepare to be resourceful to make things happen!
What else? You must also make presentations, communications, and take meeting notes as you will have to capture the keynotes and log key action items for strong follow up and closure. You will also be a gatekeeper and also someone who is not afraid to chase down people for information.
