What is it like working as an Administrative Assistant?
October 2015

Clean up the system when you first get there THEN start implementing your own protocol little by little and always be able to back up your numbers in writing.

How to advance in this position.
Administrative Assistant:
I would advise anybody new to this field to consider getting a B.A. Degree in a different field to compliment their regular administrative and secretarial skills. It has been hard for me to advance in this role because there is normally 1 administrative assistant in most businesses so they don't tend to give raises as much because your typically not doing more than the basic tasks.
