Publisher's Synopsis
Working as a personal concierge is much like working as a personal assistant. However, personal assistants typically work for one company, serving a single executive or perhaps is shared by several executives. As a personal concierge, you'll work as an independent contractor, taking on clients who need your services. Clients' needs vary greatly. Some need only a few hours of assistance every week, and others require multiple hours per day.
Many people think of hotel concierges when they hear the word, and personal concierges really aren't much different. They just serve a different clientele with different needs. While a hotel concierge might be asked to lock down dinner reservations-or perform other similar tasks-for guests staying in town no more than a day or two, personal concierges often serve clients for extended periods of time.
