4th year as an Admin Asst and loving every minute of it.
Is it good pay? Do you need education training?
im having tomorrow a test of a admin position what do you recomend to study or prepare ?
Excellent video. I have 5 friends who do admin & accounting for big companies and they're all super stressed, too much is expected of them and 2 of them who happen to be really good at their jobs quit. Is not easy when managers & directors don't have a clue of how much work is involved and they overload administrators or assistants, not to mention all the mistakes they have to put up with and repair when is a big corporation and they have to work as a team. Poor management can lead to a chain of bad results. Myself as a client i've experience the consequences of terrible management and operations from certain big companies.
This was a great video! I have been an administrative assistant for over 30 years. I was able to measure my skills with the video and was pleased to say "I measure up to your tips". Although they come naturally, it is good to categorize them in the manner you've laid out.
That is awesome to hear! If you enjoyed this video, you can see more of our career tips on our playlist here: ruclips.net/p/PL6qIzGkkiXFEeNoj2cZbcwzD9yUPAv7ax
May I ask what stops you from pursuing higher-level positions, such as Admin Manager or Office Manager? 30 years seems crazy, unless they increment your salary but it can't be higher than higher-level positions, or can they?
Did you have prior experience before applying for the job? I am a first year uni student with no experience on this job yield i did have part time jobs but it was just retail. Any advice?
What i do to become a administrative assistant..?? Can u tll me
Really useful video actually. Just landed my first assistant job at a wine club and wanna upgrade my skills more. This helped! Cheers!
Great video! More of this pls! For the many positions and roles 😊
This was very helpful. I am stepping into these roles currently in my career and I have no idea what to expect. This definitely gave me more insight into what I am getting myself into.
So glad you found it insightful, Denise! If you feel you need additional tips, tune into our career tips playlist here: ruclips.net/p/PL6qIzGkkiXFEeNoj2cZbcwzD9yUPAv7ax
Administrative skills are in high demand across various industries, making it a transferable skill that can be taken anywhere. Starting as an administrative assistant is a great way to learn about a specific field and gain experience in various tasks such as scheduling, filing, expense reports, and transcribing meeting notes. To excel in the role, it's important to learn about the preferences of the principal and become proficient in the digital tools and software they use. Being organized, understanding the team dynamics, and being available are also crucial to success. In addition to hard skills, there are four soft skills that can help administrative assistants level up: discretion, resourcefulness, communication, and adaptability. Being able to handle confidential information and changing the topic when necessary are key aspects of discretion. Resourcefulness involves being able to problem-solve and anticipate issues. Communication skills are essential for interacting with clients, vendors, and personnel. Finally, adaptability is important to handle unexpected situations and work well in a constantly changing environment. With these skills, administrative assistants can be a valuable asset in any organization.

I’m in la what school teach teaches administration
This is my 5th year in the administrative field and I had to share how helpful this video is! I was able to compare my skills and define ways to improve other skills. Love the portion on confidentiality, great info.

This video was very helpful. I am just trying to get into the Administrative/Clerical Field...Thanks for Sharing
Great simple class ! Tack❤
Just what i needed! 🙏
Amazing video, I love your job. Congrats about it
You helped a lot to be prepared for my interview.
Time to ponder.Why we should know the preferences of principal? Our products are our students. We should knw\ow their preferences & how to tackle them. If the admins group is more than one , then the preferences should be discussed and need to b e compromised as you said managers need to listen to others.
What a great video!
This was a great video!

Thank you for the hot water trick
Which fields may a administrative officer / assistant change please?
very helpful but the principal has to also be reasonable to work with for these points to be applied successfully.
What are do and don'ts for outfits as a admin assistant in person?
I work in a manufacturing company, we follow certain dresscode but Admin Asst. always wear business casual. Always try to look professional and pleasing.
How to write a great Administration Assistant CV please..
Have you gotten any help??
@@nkechionwuzurike5071 Nope not yet.
Google it
Is this Female Only position??
no, why should it be?
What a dumb fucking question
God loves you sooo much! John 3:16✝️
Corporate dystopia.
Manage up on meager pay
Stoped watching music background is so destructive
How do I do expense reports? Is it hard? I obtained my administrative assistant certificate from my local junior community college.
However, business math (statistics, accounting), excel and expense reports weren't part of the cirriculumn.
Also, for my disability, remote work is the way to go. However on-site is fine, just more strenous for my setbacks. Just as good on the job ethic and work for me though.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Yes thank you now… Indeed should build a learning portal or platform comparable to LinkedIn training for free 🆙✍🏼📌💯🔥✅🔎
Linked in has training for free?
Yes, I like it because it describes my role very well. I would add that it is essential to know your company policies, sometimes even better than your boss; the news about the city where you live or the places your boss is visiting. You also have to be aware of the use of sites or apps such as Google flights, Maps, Flights Aware, etc.
And maybe this is not for every woman, but if you want to be appreciated, respected and considered by the direction of the company and your boss, take care of yourself without changing your boss world too often just because you need it; dress accordingly, be nice to everyone. You will be the first impression of the company many times. If none of this is important to you, maybe you should think changing your path, or about this role as a mere step to something else.
I also consider being positive a great quality for this job. Nobody has amazing days every day, but if you can be yourself and be helpful to your boss, the job is really rewarding (of course, a good boss paves the way).
