Personal Assistant of the Year

0 Anne-Marie Garrard was shocked when it was announced that she had won the

00 Personal Assistant of the Year award. ‘The other candidates seemed me

34 to be very strong, and I have to say I foundthatthe selection procedure really

35 hard,' she says. 'I didn't think I had any chance of winning. When I heard my

36 name, my legs were so weak I couldonlyhardly stand up,' she laughs. So

37 how is 'the best' personal assistant chosen from a group ofsoextremely good

38 and very different individuals? The final decision was reached after a

39 day-long session ofthetests, interviews and exercises. Garrard believes

40 the skills she uses in her job helped herhowto perform well. For instance, although

41 most of her work is for her company's Managing Director, she works for six bosses

42 in all, so she always triesoutto be prepared for anything that might happen.

43 As for the future, her firm has closed for its summer break now; as soon as

44 theywillopen again, there is a pay rise waiting for her. But Garrard is not

45 going toberelax. She says, 'There's always room for personal development.
You must keep trying to improve.
