If the lines between personal assistant and executive assistant seem a bit blurred, it’s because they are. But there is a difference. Think of a personal assistant as a lifestyle version of the executive assistant.
Many busy CEO’s and high-profile people need someone to organize their personal lives just as much (or as well as) their work lives, and that’s where you come in, right hand woman.
Running errands, housework, and groceries may be part of the job description for the roles listed below. Just think of these nine personal assistant jobs as a way to collect coin, while doing the things that adulthood requires anyway.

GLAMGLOW, Administrative Assistant
This job snuck on the list because it was too good not to share! An administrative assistant isn’t exactly the same as a PA but there is some overlap. This role doesn’t require managing anyone’s personal life, but you will manage the work-life of GLAMGLOW’s VP of Global Marketing. A degree isn’t required for this entry-level role. Just a passion for beauty, organizational skills and the ability to multi-task alongside a busy senior level exec at GLAMGLOW’s West Hollywood office.
