Become an Administrative Assistant in 2019 |
Being an excellent administrative assistant means gaining trust and that starts with showing up reliably, always being available to help when you’re needed, and not having to be managed closely, since your main responsibility is taming the chaos of the office, not adding to it.
What skills are needed?
- Interpersonal skills: Administrative assistants interact with clients, customers, or staff. They should communicate effectively and be courteous when interacting with others to create a positive work environment and client experience.
- Organizational skills: Administrative assistants keep files, folders, and schedules in proper order so an office can run efficiently.
- Writing skills: Administrative assistants write memos and business emails when communicating with managers, employees, and customers. Therefore, they must have good grammar, ensure accuracy, and maintain a professional tone.
Administrative assistants work in nearly every industry. Most work in an office setting. Some administrative assistants may work out of their own homes as virtual assistants too.
