Become a Executive Secretary or Administrative Assistant

Generally speaking, executive secretaries and administrative assistants provide high-level administrative support for top executives of an organization and/or office staffs. They are distinguishable from secretaries in that they typically handle more complex responsibilities, performing fewer clerical tasks and more information management. Specific duties might include bookkeeping, managing budgets, maintaining websites, making travel arrangements, preparing agendas and making arrangements for meetings, preparing meeting documents for review, and even taking minutes at meetings. In some cases, they are also responsible for conducting research and preparing statistical reports. Executive secretaries and administrative assistants typically work in settings such as schools, hospitals, corporate venues, government agencies, or legal and medical offices. The majority of them are full-time employees who work a standard 40-hour week.
