E-business has profoundly changed sales procedures and consumer behaviour. This fashionable new sector is, however, poorly known, even though training in IT applied to the Internet (which is nowadays a global commercial tool) provides excellent career prospects. E-business covers all commercial activities developed or operating via the Internet. E-businesses use new information and communications technology (NICT) to give a new dimension to relations between a business and its customers and partners. Employers are looking for solid skills specific to e-business: marketing and communications skills, plus technical digital and Internet skills.

As a relay between the company’s management and its staff, an executive assistant requires training in human resources, recruitment and logistics, but must also have sound technical, cultural and communication skills.

Executive assistants are hired across all job sectors, enjoying a wide range of career opportunities both in SMEs and large corporate groups. Multilingual posts and those offering a greater level of responsibility are available to candidates possessing appropriate skills and experience.
