p.a. offer
earlier today...
*"beep beep" - moby's sms*
ex customer (ec): hi, good morning...would you be interested in a p.a. role?
moby: hey, good morning. what kind of p.a. role? p.a. as in personal assistant? no experience (or interest) lah...or p.a. as in people's association?
ec: ok...let me call you in a while.
*in a while...*
ec: hey hi.
moby: hi. simi p.a.?
ec: p.a. as in personal assistant. you see, the managing director of my customer is looking for someone to help him out. the p.a. would be handling the m.d.'s daily affairs and schedule...both work and personal.
moby: huh? then how come he needs a guy?
ec: ok...i know it sounds weird, but the m.d. already has a secretary, but the p.a. would be travelling around with him...and the secretary would report to the p.a.
moby: err...ok...but why me?
ec: well...the m.d.'s work associates all have a p.a., so he wanted someone who looks impressive...so i thought you'd be suitable. hehe.
moby: haha...i'm flattered. *blushes* but at this point in my career...
ec: the pay is $8k a month...
moby: what?! for a p.a.???
ec: with all travelling expenses paid for...
moby: WHAT??!!
ec: so how about it?
moby: wow... *starry eyed*
ec: you need time to think about it?
moby: *snaps out of it* no lah. it's ok. i think you should look for someone else lah...at this point in my career, i don't think that i would want to do something like that...maybe if it were a few years ago...but thanks for thinking of me anyway. hehe.
ec: hey, no problem. i'll keep a lookout for you in the meantime. cheers.
moby: cheers. =)
knn...i hope i made the right decision. but i guess it's true lah...i would never wanna be anyone's slave (which is the synonym of "p.a.")...no matter how much they paid me. my hands were made to wipe my own ass, thank you very much. haha.
but seriously, what do you think? let me know. cheers. =)

Wah...unless your current pay is $9K and above, otherwise I dont see why you want to reject the offer???
Well, in every job, you need to wipe other people's ass. Even you are the boss, you need to take the shit from your clients.
This P.A thing simply means that you are exclusively assign to wipe 1 person ass, thats all.
No harm finding out more.. sa-ka-li it is more than wiping ass, please dont sell your ass for $8K
well at least you kept your ass safe! whahaha~!~!~! BUT $8K/mth, fwah too tempting lehz.... nbm lah ah..
PA.... reminds me of my cambodian orange juice.... nice...
anyways its obvious that u will not want to be a PA for rest of ur life...
so does being a PA give u any transferrable skills to bring to your next employer?
if not, then forget it...
Ok, the amt that the m.d is paying for a p.a is making me unbalance.
oooo.. is this the market rate for fresh gigolo*AHEM*(ExCuseMe).. male P.A out there?
anonymous 1...when i said wiping someone's ass, i meant literally doing it. haha.
furfur...haha. yeah, it was damn tempting...8k *still frothing at the mouth*
jo...haha. as if you paid her 8k a month loh.
explicist...it makes me wonder what the job encompasses...almost too good to be true hor.
anonymous 2...haha. yeah...i think the p.a. actually stands for "personal ass". haha.
ytd, i interviewed a lady applying for Managerial position. she was previously a PA to da director of her ex company. she was paid around what was offered to you. (yes, and I thought of what i read from your blog) all she needed to do was just to keep travelling with her boss. now i wonder why she tendered.
