Personal Assistant At a Multinational Company

Many employees see a job as a personal assistant as a good start, a springboard for a worthy career. A talented assistant who knows the internal processes of the company, the direction of its activities, its staff and its relations with the public can, in the future, become a top manager, an executive or administrative director, a deputy director or a department head. Experienced managerial assistants often become businesspeople, as their acquired knowledge and experience enables them to successfully manage their own venture.

M&A trends 2012

Positive macroeconomic data from the end of 2011, as well as determined actions by banking sector regulators, can call into question the existence of an economic recession and stimulate an appetite for risk. Considering these factors, we can expect positive dynamics in a wide range of assets in 2012.
According to analysts, the Russian M&A market looks particularly advantageous, provided that a portion of the foreign investors who left in the third quarter of 2011 will return. However, the fact that most of the major foreign deals that have recently been planned involve state-owned companies, while Russian private capital saw significantly reduced activity in late 2011, is a reason for caution.
