Question

Personal assistant I have good personal, organisational and computer skills, and although I haven't trained for it I think I'd do a good job. Is there a chance that I can get a job as a personal assistant? In my previous jobs I organised agendas very often.

There's no written rule that says you can't just because you haven't trained specifically for it. It'll all depend on what you can do, on your skills and presence. In any case, a personal assistant, apart from organising meetings will have to do many other tasks like responding to emails, preparing correspondence on behalf of management, organising travel and preparing travel itineraries. Sometimes you're also asked to have some business administration background, some HR experience, or some basic finance experience among many other things. In other words, you've got to be very versatile.
