A Great Book About PAing
If you're looking for a great book about what it's like to be a PA, check out "Gofers" by Daniel Scarpati. Not only is it a realistic account of life as a PA, but he gives awesome tips about how to succeed, grow your career, and enjoy the process.
He's giving the PAs 50% off the eBook, so it's $4.99 plus applicable tax. If you didn't receive the discount link and code in your PA Verification email, just email us, and we'll send you all the info!
