Are you one of those people who manage to stay calm while everyone else feels the pressure? Can you organise not only yourself but those around you? Do you see problems and face them head on rather than shy away? If you answered yes to these questions, you could be perfect for an Executive Assistant role. This is a job that some will find difficult but others will take in their stride.

Here in Singapore, the business sector is thriving. It’s home to both local and international corporations all striving to succeed, and men and women who offer a methodical approach to work are always in great demand. And in return for your efforts, you can expect a good starting salary and, perhaps crucially, a chance to build a strong and rewarding career path.

One of the most pleasing aspects of searching for such a role is that you’ll find vacancies in just about every sector of industry. Corporations of all shapes and sizes need to be as organised and as efficient as possible, so Executive Assistants are regularly needed in everything from accountancy and aviation to transport and telecommunications.

Every day will be different

You’ll have a range of duties to deal with on a daily basis, including perhaps answering telephone calls, greeting visitors, sending memos and emails, arranging meetings, organising travel details, filing documents, communicating with customers and clients, setting up conferences and maintaining calendars. The work is varied and interesting at all times.

Similar roles in your past could help with an application. They include the likes of:

• Administrative Assistant
• Secretary
• Personal Assistant
• Support Officer
• Filing Clerk
• Receptionist
• Office Clerk

…and more. In general, Executive Assistant jobs in Singapore won’t require a great deal of academic qualifications, although of course you’ll need to be intelligent, conscientious, methodical and hard-working.
