Office assistants and administrative assistants they answer the telephone, Schedule appointments, and also arrange staff meetings.

Then its legal secretaries and they get paid $44,180 year, then its Secretaries and administrative assistants and they get paid up to $34,820. Then its medical secretaries and they get paid up to $33,730 a year. The Total of all occupations is 437,040.
When becoming a secretary it don’t take much, because some jobs don’t require a certification for office assistants/ administrative assistants. Although not required, certification can demonstrate competency to employers. Some jobs don’t require it because they do on the job training which usually last only a few weeks. If you have that certification that’s still good because you don’t have to go through their training process because you have already done the training.
If you didn’t know secretary have to have many skills such as; interpersonal skills, integrity, organizational skills, and writing skills.
Interpersonal skills you have to interact with clients, customers, or staff. You have to interact with people and create a positive work environment and client experience. When it comes to integrity you have to be trusted to handle confidential information. You have to keep your client, or customer information private because it is required by that you keep all your clients information private if not you can end up in prison or jail you may even get sued. Organization skills you have to be able to keep files, folders, and schedules in order so that your office can run efficiently.
In my conclusion office assistants may seem easy, but it’s really not. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to do this trade for a living. But I have decided to dedicate my time as long as takes to use this trade to the fullest. I love this trade no matter the money because that is what most people look at but I love doing it and I can see myself retiring from this career. I would not prefer this trade if you do not already have a passion for doing the things that we do every day. It truly is an amazing career and I hope you have learned about what it takes to work in this
trade.
