Personal Assistant Wanted

Personal Assistant Definition:

Basically, the job would be me asking you to help with whatever I need done. Sometimes guest house data collection, translation, writing or whatever. It will vary.

At the moment-this is mostly what I need help with-

Do you know Excel?

Assistant wanted who can enter data using Excel and look up and print out information.

As well as teach English, I also have a guest house business. We have two guest houses near Hakone.

We need to collect a lot of data for the authorities about guests now, under the law.

I need help with this work.

I may need help with other work as well to do with teaching or the guest houses.

Does the red part sound OK to you?

I would write: I need an assistant who can enter data using Excel and ... .

What do you think?

Yes.

 

[kadioguy]

Yes.

Well then, I think it means this:

Assistant who can enter data using Excel and look up and print out information wanted .

 

[Rover_KE]

OK, but the original is better.

 

[kadioguy]

Personal Assistant Wanted means (A) Personal Assistant (is) Wanted, rather than (A) Personal Assistant (who is) Wanted.

Another example is thread closed, which means (the) thread (is/has been) closed (now).

Is that right?

Yeah, but I mean this:

[From English Practical Usage 3rd ed. Unit 240]

[FONT=Tahoma, Calibri, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif]Headlines are the short titles above news reports (e.g. RUSSIAN WOMAN LANDS ON MOON). English news headlines can be very difficult to understand. One reason for this is that headlines are often written in a special style, which is very different from ordinary English. In this style there are some special rules of grammar, and words are often used in unusual ways.[/FONT]

Isn't printing fairly low level knowledge? I'd stop at the data entering.
