Administrative Assistant
What do Administrative Assistants do?
Administrative assistants perform a variety of administrative and clerical duties are necessary to run and maintain organizations efficiently. They schedule appointments, give information to callers, organize and maintain files, fill out forms, and transcribe dictation. As downsizing occurs in companies, the trend is toward having secretaries assume more administrative responsibilities.
Generally, administrative assistants work closely with executives or administrators. A similar position is an Executive Secretary. Administrative assistants many times have the qualifications needed to be an Office manager.
