2. What does an Administrative Assistant Do?

Administrative assistants are often the heart of any given organization as they perform a wide variety of duties and often interact with the public as well. Some administrative assistant positions are entry level while others are reserved for those with experience and/or training. An entry level administrative assistant can expect to perform a wide variety of office duties, including filing, typing, answering the phone, and other duties that would help to support various departments within the company, such as copying, faxing, etc.

Administrative assistants often prepare reports and spreadsheets and other documentation that may be needed for meetings. Some administrative assistants, especially those with experience, may make travel arrangements for the executives or others in the company. They may also coordinate conferences and meetings and notify others of such.

The career of administrative assistant may be as diverse as the industries in which administrative assistants are found. For example, corporate administrative assistants may be very involved in making travel arrangements while administrative assistants for other industries, such as the insurance industry or the funeral industry may spend their workdays doing nothing but paperwork. Some administrative assistants interact with the public and some serve strictly as support staff for various departments within a company.

3. Where does an Administrative Assistant Work?

There are administrative assistant jobs in a wide variety of industries. Almost any company that has an office will have at least one administrative assistant. However, there are administrative assistants found in the corporate offices of restaurants and other places where one would not initially expect to find an administrative assistant. Grocery stores, retail stores, and restaurants often have corporate offices where such support staff can be found.

This is important to keep in mind if you are looking for a position as an administrative assistant because at first glance, you might not think about working at a grocery store or a restaurant, but when you realize that these types of industries do have offices, that can open new doors for the job seeking administrative assistant. There are also administrative assistant jobs in the healthcare field. While some of these positions may require a certain amount of medical knowledge, not all of them do. Administrative assistants in the healthcare field may schedule appointments, file, prepare documents, answer the phone, return phone calls, and other duties as needed.

4. Education and Training

There are a variety of options to be considered when preparing for the career of administrative assistant. While you don't have to have a degree or any formal training in many cases, like any other career, the more education and training you have, the more money you can expect to earn and the more options you will have when it comes to what kind of job you can get as an administrative assistant. A high school graduate that has taken computer classes can secure an entry level position as an administrative assistant; however, if you have been out of school for some time or haven't worked in the workplace for a while, you might consider a program offered by your local community college or vocational school.

These programs can last from a few months to a year or more and will help prepare you to work in an office. You will learn the latest computer software programs that are being used in the workplace today and you will learn all about office practices. In addition, you can combine these classes with a medical or legal specialty if you wish to specialize either in the legal or healthcare fields. If not, you can get a general education regarding office practices and the use of office machines. In addition, many of these programs offer placement assistance for their graduates so it might be easier to secure a position with an established company if you decide to go this route.
