OT- Any Admins or Exec Admins out there??

[SDSorority]

Hi all! I'm trying to get a promotion out of being a receptionist (among other things) into exec admin at my current school. Is anyone an admin or exec admin out there? Do you like it??

Yes, I do like it. I have been an admin for 10 years and every day is different. Being customer-service oriented, a problem solver, and an organizer are the top three qualities that I use on a regular basis. Depending on your position, you may also need advanced skills in computer programs, both run-of-the-mill and specialized for your area. Make sure that your grammar and basic math skills are good to go, too.

If you know a secretary at the school, call and ask him/her what her daily routine entails as well as challenges that he/she face on the job. I have found that asking these questions to an insider is invaluable in applying for a position.

Good luck!

THANKS!! I know the VP's it supports (they're actually in my division but in a different building) so I was going to talk to them as well.
