I work for Jilly Cooper

Article Abstract:

Working as personal assistant to novelist Jilly Cooper involves a very flexible working pattern. It is sometimes necessary to look after her dogs, but the job can also involve travel, perhaps to a television appearance or a book signing session. The routine tasks include paying bills, answering telephone calls and opening letters. When Cooper is writing, there are notes to be typed. Cooper is generally easy to work with, but she expects her staff to be able to work on their own initiative.
