Welcome to another jam-packed edition of
Executive PA Magazine and we have plenty of advice, top tips and expert comment over the next 50 pages. The focus this issue has been on how PAs can improve
their roles – whether that’s a new job, a new (and improved) salary or a new (and better) office environment. On page 45 you’ll find our fool-proof guide to landing a payrise, surely something no PA would turn down. And if you’re looking to move to a new company you’ll find some timely advice in our piece on interview skills – including one killer piece of advice that has never failed for one PA (page 42). And finally if you’d just settle for a nicer office environment turn to page 28 for some ideas for creating the perfect environment. We’ve also got plenty of news about the awards and the
great prizes we have lined up (page 12). And just a quick reminder that if you want to be in the running you’ll need to enter the awards – but do so quickly as all nominations must be received by Friday August 23rd this issue or at
www.ExecutivePA.com/awards.
