Office Administration Career Opportunities
Your experience and day-to-day responsibilities working in office administration will partially depend on your position. For instance, administrative assistant duties may include answering the phone, scheduling appointments and staff meetings, preparing and editing memos and documents, performing bookkeeping, and more.1 Customer service representative responsibilities are to interact with customers and answer questions through phone, email, chat, and more.2
Many professions work in an office environment, each with its own unique set of daily tasks. The type of position you hold may also affect the environment you work in. Customer service representatives sometimes work in large spaces alongside other employees, which can make for a noisy and distracting environment.3 Some office arrangements may allow you to have your own office within the space, while others may adopt the open office layout in which staff sits at communal desks. This open floor plan design can make for a louder environment, but it may also help to facilitate collaboration and communication.4
