So, what will I actually be doing?
If you want to become an information officer like our interviewee in the video above then a job as an administrator can put you firmly on that career path. Filing, making travel arrangements, taking bookings, looking after visitors... Every office needs an efficient administrator who can ensure that everything behind the scenes of a successful company is running smoothly. Without one, things quickly start to fall apart.
This is a great job for those who like to dabble in a variety of tasks and can multi-task with ease. As an office administrator you’ll be expected to turn your hand to jobs such as:
Sorting out the post
Answering the phones
Ordering office stationery supplies
Greeting clients
Typing
Filing
Managing diaries
