GU student ripped for personal-assistant ad
Georgetown University sophomore Charley Cooper is taking a lot of flak for putting out an ad seeking a personal assistant. The ideal candidate will attend to tasks like organizing his closet, scheduling haircuts, managing his electronic accounts and doing laundry. It didn't take long for haters to begin hating. The Georgetown Voice accused him of "premature self-importance," and others complained that he was perpetuating the stereotype that Georgetown students are rich, helpless brats. I'd be joining in, but someone in Cooper's family has cancer, and that will earn my sympathy more than his full load of classes and part-time job will. Plus, he's paying $12 an hour, and I don't live too far from GU. —Posted by David Kiefaber |

Good for this guy. One of the most important steps in your professional development is understanding when to delegate and focus on quadrant I. He is being proactive in his time management.
It would be one thing if he had money and was out partying with his free time.
- I will be the first one to call out spoiled brats but sometimes you have to read between the lines and understand when to ask (pay) for help.
(I really enjoy the blog, thanks)

The Virtual Personal Assistant can be the perfect assistant for companies. This is because companies get the results with less of the cost and less of the stress.
