Welcome to this Virtual PA Interview with Q&A session, a fantastic opportunity to hear about and learn from real PA careers first hand. We're honoured to be joined by this year's Best PA Newcomer winner Eleni Charalamobous.
About Eleni:
I began my professional career shortly after my graduation from the University of Aberdeen in 2019, when I accepted a summer internship with a company specialising in Education Management. Over the next few years, I built a solid foundation through roles in office management, welfare, and compliance before I begun focusing on the operational aspects of business.
I became a Personal Assistant briefly in 2022 before a company restructuring led me to seek a role as a Marketing and Business Support Executive, where I specialised in operations. The role prepared me for my current role as a Business Support Assistant with William Grant & Sons. In this position, I am afforded the opportunity to go beyond the typical administrative duties.
By consistently delivering high-quality support and demonstrating a deep understanding of business needs, I’ve evolved into a strategic partner for my stakeholders. I am currently undertaking significantly more responsibilities, including project work. This shift will allow me to build my career on a solid foundation, continuously seeking new opportunities to deliver meaningful results and progress.
