Details or Sample:
Working in an administration position can be satisfying both in terms of salary and future job prospects but before you commit yourself to any position, make sure that you consider the following:
1. Being an administrator is a great job. It’s busy, it’s varied, and it’s allows a lot of scope for career advancement, but before taking on any job be very clear about how the administrator is viewed within the company or department to which you are applying. You want to make sure that the people you work for want a career minded professional administrator, and not someone to answer the telephone all day. Whilst answering the phone all day may be better than being unemployed, it won’t allow you to use your professional administrative skills, or help you progress up the administration career path as future employers will assess how what you’re doing now qualifies you for the job they’re offering. You must be very clear about what it is that’s required and how it can influence your future job prospects before accepting any administrative position.

2. What does the job require of you? An administrator’s job description can be ambiguous and misleading. It can also hide a wide range of responsibilities by using general terms such as “office organization”. Ask the employer to clarify what these responsibilities are, or better still, talk to the person who’s currently doing the job before accepting a position. Office organization for example could simply be the maintaining of office services within the company or department, however it could also include everything from responsibility for petty cash to the hiring and disciplining of personnel. Without clarification you won’t know whether you have all the necessary skills for the job.

3. Administration isn’t just about knowing the right kind of way to analyze statistics and punctuate reports. It’s also about being very clear about deadlines, company/departmental goals and objectives, and above all, good communication skills.
