Sorry but I am going to disagree with Cookie. Spelling is very important. I do agree with you about spell check, and use it myself. However, sorry to say it only works if you use it.

Note: Yahoo has spell check. Sadly it is not used much.

Addition Information: Here is a website I found that I feel will give you the requested information you are looking for. I hope it helps

In theory you would need to know about the field (line of work) of the person you hope to be working for as their assistant. Being a personal assistant is more then just running errands.

I am not saying you need a degree but having one would not hurt and will always help. Take classes on people skills. Learn how to talk to people on the phone. (By the way talking to people on the phone is a art in and out of it self) Take office management classes. Take sales classes. The more you know the better off you will show yourself. Have the I can attitude and dress for success.

Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do
