After 8 years working as PA to the Manager and Head of Finance & Administration for a finance broker, the company went into liquidation and I was let go. I can truthfully say that I loved that job and the people I worked with and I was annihilated when it happened.<br />
<br />
The finance effects of the redundancy were troublesome, but manageable short term. But what I totally under-estimated was the emotional effect it was to have on me.<br />
<br />
I instantly set about looking for another job but after so many years with one company, I had sliced out a role for myself which simply did not exist in other companies. I also discovered I Had no desire to work for anybody else. I'd gotten cynical about being a worker, something which I had never experienced before myself and had always found exasperating in others.<br />
<br />
Whilst I had confidence in my abilities and skills, I invented all kinds of reasons explaining why positions would not suit me. I hadn't , however , lost the fervour to work and to show high productivity, so I started to have a look into the likelihood of beginning my own business.<br />
<br />
It appeared a noticeable call to remain within my speciality and knowledge and so I turned into a Virtual PA. I will stiil take an advantage from a workload which is hugely sundry and incorporates all my abilities but I am my own administrator.<br />
<br />
2 of the major benefits I now enjoy are working in different industries and with different folks. One of the key facets of a good PA is the working relationship with their executive which, as an employed PA, continuously builds up over a period. As a Virtual PA it's an aspect which I certainly concentrate on, to foster that relationship despite working remotely. It is interesting to find out how my style changes from customer to client dependent upon their own style, preferred working methods and approach and so on.<br />
<br />
I also find that my skills are kept much more recent as I ensure I Am researching the most acceptable technology, software, working practices for example. Plus my client's projects are so wide ranging I'm continually using different talents which might not necessarily be when working for one employer.<br />
<br />
I would not recommend redundancy to any person, but with hindsight it was not the end of civilization - just the start of my Virtual PA business.
