i just got hired as this attorney's personal assistant when he travels. he fired his secretary because he wanted someone to help b/c he travels so much. i was wondering do you think that i should ask him to hire me as his secretary and then go with him when he travels? i really just want to be busy and i travel from fri to monday-tuesday. should i ask him or should i go find a part time job to stay busy. i want to be earning money.
please help!

The attorney now needs a secretary . There is every possibility that he may hire you provided you offer your services !!
Best of Luck !!!

Legal secretaries have specific knowledge, skills and experience that other secretaries don't. If you haven't been specifically trained to do legal secretarial work, then in all likelihood, he won't hire you for the secretary job. I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask him, but I imagine that if he thought you were qualified to be a legal secretary he would have hired you for that job instead of the personal assistant job.

I'd ask him for a precise definition of "Personal Assistant" detailing my "duties, expectations, and requirements". You'll work for him on a trial basis for 60 days, then your contract (you do have one?) will be renegotiated including salary, title, benefits, and other considerations.
I found a beautiful "love it" job through Olsten Staffing. *oops, can I say that within Guidelines?*
