| A successful executive assistant needs a varied skill set. Your primary skill will be a superb organizational ability because you have to manage the CEO’s office. However, to prove yourself really valuable to senior management you'll have to be very flexible and possess outstanding problem solving skills, as Jennifer Reingold shows in her CNNMoney article on CEO executive assistants. The assistants she interviewed had duties ranging from protecting the CEO from aggressive press photographers to helping him out in a social emergency with information on correct diplomatic protocol. Also, you will need stamina and dedication because at this senior level you might be on call day and night.
