Job Requirements
Being able to multi task is important in any administrative
position and it also requires problem solving skills with the
ability to work independantly.

Uppers
Some of the best parts of this jobs and other adminstrative postions is job
secruity, especially it the field i work for. Another is the schdule, combine
that with great people to work for and it makes going to work feel less like and
obligation.

Downers
The only downer to my position is the pay in entry level postions
like mine are not quite what you expect for all you do, however
higher position in the same field do reward you with better pay
as you move up. My advise to someone like myself, do not enter
into this positon if you are not patient and or need to have a
certain amount of salary.

Lifestyle
The hours in my positon and in other administrative postions are mostly
day-shift hours with weekends off, perfect for someone like my self or even
part-time students and single mothers. The company I work for has great benefits
and private events for theire employees, for example annual chritmas parties and
summer picnics. The Adminstrative field dress is mostly business, however, like
my company may offer you time to time a relaxed day a couple times during the
month or even once a week. But this postion and other adminstrative positon are
usually with comanies that deal with high end people or other businesses so it is
important to look important, and for me, I like to look important.
|
Compensation
Compenstation for this positon is not on the high end, due to the
fact that my position is usually a entry level positon to other
high end postion in the administrative field, however, the
company I work for has great benefits and a good precentage to
progress in the company.

Advice to Jobseekers
My advice would be if have the necessary skills to grab a higher
paying position in the adminstrative field take it, however if
your like myself, don't be ashamed or reluctant to take a entry
level positon in this field. If you are not the sole bread winner
in your family and money is not main concern right now, then take
this position and get the skills need to work your way up to a
higher paying positon. Work for a company that compenstates you
richly in other areas and give you an above average percentage
for moving up to a higher paying positon in the same field. Most
compaines like the one I work for higher within before looking
for new hires.
