I worked as an administrative assistant for an Beverage Company. I enjoyed some of the clerical works that I assisted with. However, as an admin you will be expected to do many things that are not within your job description. Also, admin positions these days require you to learn lots of different software programs. I was expected to use five different ones at my last position. We were not considered the "talent" that drove the company, even though we were the backbone that supported it. Also, many of the managers there actually thought I wanted to be one of them. They couldn't be more wrong. I have never in my life wanted to go into the managing department. In fact, if I could do anything I wanted, it woing be "Working in the comfort of my own home". No more hustle and bustle, No more exhausting traffic jams and I can also take care of my family while l enjoy working from home.
