Administrative Assistant Jobs

Administrative Assistant jobs are key positions in many companies. Company executives may rely on one Administrative Assistant to do multiple tasks for them, or each executive may have his or her own Personal Assistant or Executive Assistant. You may be able to get your foot in the door for Administrative Assistant jobs by first becoming a Receptionist. This will teach you all the skills required for “admin” work.

Administrative work entails a variety of responsibilities:

• Keeping the calendar for the managers
• Answering phones and emails, and
• Helping with clerical work

Sometimes these administrative positions may be assigned to different departments of a company. For example, the Human Resources Department or Finance Department of the same company may have their own Admin Assistant. This is a great opportunity for you as an office worker to learn a specific aspect of the industry. You will learn how to work with different software programs or to keep records pertaining to that department’s employment data.

Financial Administrative Assistants may sometimes be required to assist the Bookkeeper or Controller of the company with light accounting work. This may include accounts payable and accounts receivable. The Office Admin may also need to have knowledge of QuickBooks to speed up the process.

As an Administrative Assistant, you may also have the opportunity to be promoted to Executive Assistant or Office Manager. If promoted, you would be responsible for supervising Receptionists and other clerical staff. Furthermore, you would be in charge of ensuring that the executive and management teams have everything they need to be productive.
