The client has experience working with assistants throughout his career and knows he needs someone experienced, assertive and detail oriented who can track projects and pull things off his plate. The person needs to have the ability to quickly learn things and confidence to perform high-level tasks. This should be a solution-oriented person who is able to manage a busy client’s day to day. 

 Assistants who have struggled with him have either waited for him to assign tasks and give more direction (rather than suggesting things they could take off his plate), or did not have solid EA skills (like asking him how to manage email accounts rather than teaching him). Many of his past assistants who succeeded in the role have been promoted to higher level positions within his companies as the businesses grew. The same may be true of this position. Chuck is very successful in business, busy and friendly. He is eager to get assistance.

 He will need 10 hours per week to start, with those numbers increasing, potentially to full time in the future, if desired. He is in Virginia, has team members in the US and India, and needs someone based in the USA who can work Eastern hours. His assistant will need to be on operational meetings on Tuesdays from 8:30-10:00am ET, to help facilitate, take notes, and manage logistics.
