How to become an executive assistant without experience

The role is a hard and often highly stressful one but it is perfect for anyone seeking a dynamic and exciting career path that is bound to provide them with loads of skills and valuable experience.

Most executive assistant job postings prefer candidates that have at least three years of administrative experience. Experience can be obtained through a job, volunteer position or internship.

The top three skills of an executive assistant are adaptability, people skills, and organization.

In fact, introverts are some of the best assistants because they like to sit by themselves in a quiet office and get stuff done! I'm a strong introvert with extroverted skills and tendencies and my boss was a high extrovert, which worked well in my 6 years as his Executive Assistant.
