How to be a PA is the book I wish I could have purchased when I first started out as PA. 20 years ago there was nothing available for PAs by way of a learning and development guide. Recently, I again searched Amazon to see what was available for PAs and again was disappointed by the options. This discovery led me to write my book and has enabled me to pass my career experience to date over to a new generation of career hungry PAs. Good luck and I hope you enjoy being a PA as much as I have. Author and EA, Maria Fuller.
