Irrespective of size, industry sector or turnover, a company won’t function to the best of its abilities if it isn’t efficient enough. For this reason, Administrative Assistants play a crucial role in their success. Even if these individuals are employed at entry level, their input on a daily basis can be crucial. No wonder talented Administrative Assistants are often in great demand.

In many cases, your academic qualifications are unlikely to be an important factor for potential employers; they are far more likely to place a premium on various aspects of your personality. If you’re a methodical, organised person, someone who remains unflustered even when the pressure is on and you are able to work well with others, you could be the ideal candidate.

You’ll find Administrative Assistants in just about every sector of industry, so you don’t need to restrict your job search to just construction, for example. And switching from one sector to another is also relatively easy, and can bring opportunities to move up the career ladder over the coming months and years. Many senior employees will have started their working lives in such a role.

In any given working week, you will be required to carry out a wide range of duties. They could include compiling reports, organising meetings, making travel arrangements, taking minutes, updating databases, distributing information, meeting clients and fielding telephone calls. You’re unlikely to ever become bored in this role.
