Career OpportunityTrained Administrative/Personal Assistants enjoy job security. This field combines good earning potential with plenty of job opportunities. Administrative Assistants can go as far as their training and ambition permit, from a secretary or receptionist to an executive assistant or office manager. Companies continue to expect administrative staff to take on a wider range of responsibilities and are paying a premium for candidates who can multi-task.
As technology continues to expand in offices across the UK, the role of the Administrative Assistant/secretary has greatly evolved. New technologies and automation have led secretaries to assume a wider range of responsibilities once reserved for managerial staff. Many Administrative Assistants now provide training and orientation to new staff, conduct research on the internet, make travel arrangements and schedule and organise conferences.
Employers today are looking for individuals who have the ability to work independently, can use discretion, have good judgment and can combine that with organisational and interpersonal skills. Today’s Administrative/Personal Assistant may interact with prospective clients, investors, board members or other parties who can have a major impact on the success of an organisation.
As an Administrative/Personal Assistant, you can look forward to a career with excellent earning potential. While salaries vary according to the location and the type of business you choose to work in, you can expect to receive a competitive salary as an entry-level assistant. Then as you gain experience and build your career, you can look forward to a lifetime of increasing income potential.
