Absolutely! Being a Personal Assistant requires patience and grace, and the interviewer needs to hear that you are a patient person. Afterall, it is your job to alleviate stress and create simplicity for another person's life. Being a patient person is a must! Begin by telling the interviewer that you are a patient person, and you understand being patient is a must in order to facilitate personal assisting services for your clients. Then, share an example! A great example might include a time when a client was having a hard time making a decision or was frequently changing their mind. You might share how you patiently allowed the client to have some space to process their decision and happily went along with their request when they were ready.
