CEO assistants provide administrative support to the chief executive officer of a company. Specific job duties vary, depending on the company and industry, but general responsibilities may include managing the CEO's calendar, scheduling meetings, arranging travel plans, answering phone calls and emails, organizing and filing documents, and communicating with other staff members on behalf of the CEO. An executive assistant is the first contact for those looking to reach the CEO. As a CEO assistant, you may also travel with the CEO on business trips to coordinate activities at the destination, and may be asked to complete duties that do not pertain to the company, such as documenting reminders of events involving the CEO's family into the main calendar.
