Wall Street Criminal Defense Executive Personal Assistant - 2023

The principal of our firm is seeking a highly intelligent and resourceful Executive Personal Assistant (EPA) for whom no task is too big or too small, who proactively owns and solves problems, and makes the lives of those around her or him better.

EPA’s responsibilities include directing communication and information to and from principal and staff, efficient management of a small team, and comprehensive administrative support to assure the smooth running of a fast-paced office and ever-changing calendar.

The EPA must ensure that the principal’s time is spent on the highest priority items. This position is for those with a 24/7 mentality and is not 9-5; flexibility on weekends is a must. Additionally, the EPA will spend 10-20% of his or her time on personal assistance projects for the principal. He or she will roll up sleeves and jump right in.

Varghese, Esq., Principal, Varghese & Associates, P.C., 2 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005 and explain why you want to work at this firm, what effect you will have on the office and in the principal’s life, and include the answer to this question “who are the only two players who entered the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame as Mets?” If you are less than five years out of college, then submit an unofficial final college or grad school transcript and a writing sample.
