“When I applied for the personal assistant position I thought it would be only a temporary thing until I find a better job. To my surprise I actually did enjoy it. And I still do. Through this years with SCA I’ve met amazing people, clients as well as colleagues. Best of all, I gained a lot of experiences and skills. ”
