Bristol EA releases how-to book for the PA community

How to be a PA is a new book for PAs, EAs and Admins now available on Amazon. Written and published by UK Executive Assistant Maria Fuller, How to be a PA is the new ‘go-to guide’ for PAs and tipped to become the market-leading reference book for career-focused assistants.

How to be a PA is 266 pages of expert PA knowledge, practical hints, tips and guides explaining the key elements of the PA role and providing the knowledge on how to complete tasks successfully. Chapter headings include “Insider knowledge, So – you want to be a PA?”; “Choosing your Career Path”; “Diary Management”; “How to Schedule Meetings”; “Business Networking”; “Professional Associations”; an “Introduction to Business Travel”; and the “City of London for the Business Executive”.

It’s a book that equips readers with the skills and knowledge to do their job well. It’s full of epic top tips, assertive calls for action and prompts to add to your bible, while bursting with images, screen shots and expert knowledge. The book is a handy office reference guide for all business assistants, providing real office examples and scenarios for readers to work through.

So, what prompted Maria Fuller to write the book? “I identified a huge gap in the market. Many books are available that focus on ‘soft skills’ but nothing was available with the skills you actually need to do the job – the ‘practical skills’. It was that discovery that led me to write my book. It’s the book I wished I could have purchased when I first started out as a PA.”

How to be a PA is now available on Amazon, priced at £17.99.
