Secretarial jobs are never an easy task. A secretary does not only deal with her boss but with the people whom she also has to contact for her boss. Making a good secretary needs the following qualities.
First, a secretary should be a well-organized person.As the executive's personal organized, she has to handle all the incoming matters for her boss and put many things,arrangements in order of importance,she must know what is the most important and need attention first and last.
Second, a secretary needs patience and understanding as she has to deal with any
matter before the boss does. Also,due to the fact that some bosses can be easily
annoyed,she has to remember the pressures her boss is likely to be under and will not bother her boss with every small problem. Instead,she will take those pressures instead.
Third,interpersonal skills and communication are a must. As most secretaries have to answer many phone call and welcome visitors in a day,it is important to listen well,keep conversations focused on the task and get to the point, so that
secretaries will be able to follow through quickly and efficiently with all tasks.
