What is it like working as an Administrative Assistant?
September 2016
Good but Poor Money.
Administrative Assistant:
Pros: Good office environment, easy to get routine.
Cons: Stress Levels, Repetitive Work, Poor Money.
September 2016
Care to Treat Others As You Want to be Treated.
Administrative Assistant:
Don't settle to not go beyond your job title and not care enough to research and find out things more. Don't accept no for an answer unless you have tried everything. Learn to speak up and ask questions if you don't know. Be professional but not stuffy. Always make sure to speak positive and do your job with excellence, because in the long run your quality of work will get noticed. Know about the company you work for which will help you to know how to interact and work with the clients and the board of directors.
September 2016
Be flexible and level-headed.
Administrative Assistant:
Don't be afraid to ask questions and admit that you don't know something. Reach out to everyone around you in order to efficiently problem-solve. It's going to be a team effort but you've got to be the person directing the journey. Be pro-active. Don't be afraid to delegate; if someone else can do it better than you or if you need help then you shouldn't hesitate to ask.
September 2016

Be willing to learn, and flexibility is a must. Also, further your education for advancement.

Ability to advance.

Determine in advance the policy on pay based on experience and work load. My current employer does not do annual reviews or raises.
August 2016
Administrative Assistant:
Pros: One of my supervisors is nice.
Cons: Horrible supervision for half of my job outside the department my position is in. No room for questions or creativity or workflow improvement. Encouraged to work as fast as possible and make mistakes related to patient care.
