New York, New York (PRWEB) December 28, 2011

A teenager was critically injured in a forklift accident at a Brooklyn armory, reported the New York Post (12/19/2011).

Yanky Stein, 17, lost control of the forklift he was driving and smashed his head into a beam on the ceiling, according to the New York Post.

New York personal injury lawyers at The Perecman Firm predict Steins employer will be in trouble with The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

OSHA specifically says, it is a violation of Federal law for anyone under 18 years of age to operate a forklift or for anyone over 18 years of age to operate a forklift who is not properly trained and certified to do so.

It was the responsibility of the employer to notify Stein and other underage or untrained and unlicensed employees that they cannot operate a forklift, said New York personal injury lawyer David Perecman, founder of The Perecman Firm and one of New Yorks top personal injury lawyers*.

If an operator has not been adequately trained and evaluated according to OSHA guidelines, New York personal injury lawyers at The Perecman Firm understand the employer can be found negligent.

Stein was helping to dismantle a stage following an evening celebration of the 67th anniversary of Satmar Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaums escape from Hungary during the Nazi occupation, said The Wall Street Journal (12/19/2011).

We are in a new Gilded Age of America.  The depth and breadth of vast fortunes is staggering.  A new breed of personal assistants is emerging to help manage the lifestyles of the rich and famous: the personal concierge, aka the “Lifestyle Manager”.   If you are or have been a secretary, personal assistant, office manager, or administrative assistant, then you probably already possess the skills you need to work for the ultra rich.

Don’t worry if you’ve never worked in a similar position because having related experience is also beneficial.  If you have worked in the service industry, like hospitality or retail management then you are on the right track. 

The most important ingredient for success in the position is a desire to please your boss.  The traveling personal assistant usually has to work very long hours and travel on a moment’s notice.  The pressure can be great because of all the special assignments.  But the pros usually outweigh the cons.  The pay can be upwards of 0,000 a year because the super rich need you to be there for them, up to 80 hours or more a week. 

There is no rhyme or reason to why millionaires, billionaires, and celebrities choose the personal assistants they do.  Above and beyond being able to hack the duties, employers just look for the “something” that makes them feel at ease. 

Just think of all the opportunities for applications.  There are over 1000 billionaires in the United States alone.  Additionally, the Forbes riches people lists are perfect for targeting resumes to high profile and high net worth families throughout America.

Personal assistants that work for the rich get to travel on private jets, go to exotic locations, and generally get all the benefits of being wealthy without all the headache – relatively speaking.  If you think you have what it takes to be a Celebrity Concierge, look no further than the celebrity staffing services of The Celebrity Personal Assistant Network, located online at http://www.findcelebrityjobs.com.
