Why would someone want to become an administrative executive?

This is the job we are good at! We thrive in a support role and enjoy helping others. We love tackling a variety of tasks, like finding the right venue for your client function, whipping up a professional presentation, or making sure that your next business trip is a successful one. Being an administrative assistant is a crucial piece of the functioning of any business.

If you love to serve clients with specific tasks and take the stress off of them, then being an Executive Admin is for you! It is so satisfying when a client can work on the side of their business that they love and not the everyday business office tasks.

This is a career growth. Being able to deal with executives, being involved in decision making, dealing with top organization's stakeholders. To mention but not least, a competitive pay.

Executive administrative professionals can often be considered as being a "silent partner", yet still have great influence in strategic decision-making challenges and objectives faced by C-level and other executive management associates. Serving in a support capacity, allows creativity and sharing of ideas with those being supported, thus contributing with growth and development of the organization. There is sense of worth and fulfillment in quietly serving your organization's leadership. My personal motto "live life with a servant's heart" ... this is a perfect role to live out this motto!

Depending on the industry you choose, working in administration can be a permanent role or a stepping stone to another role in the company. It is always best to understand the perception of this role before you apply. Many law offices look for permanent administrative executives, whereas in the entertainment industry it is a gateway role used to gain experience or entry into the industry.

Sometimes personality differences can be challenging. Staying professional and knowing when to follow versus lead is important.

Agreeing to whatever is mentioned above , imagine being a combination of leadership & communication as well as hard skills as you mentioned. This mixture is challenging but not hard , if you take my college has a example : We do have these kind of similar roles leadership + skill oriented role in our clubs , fests , etc. Actually being so in a college , unlocks us a great experience in this challenging role

After being on call 24/7 as an operations manager, I was ready to pivot. I now use those same skills and experience to support my executives. I can empathize and relate more as a result of my past experiences. The stress is still there, but it’s different. Look for your transferable skills and pick an industry that you enjoy working in. Most importantly, stay on top of technology! You need to be two steps ahead of your executives to keep them prepared. I used to say that I was tired of babysitting adults, however I still do this, but in a motherly kind of way.

I started my career as an administrative professional, after a pivot from another industry. What I did was try to see what cross functional skills I had that would translate into the office, and turns out I had several. I would suggest working with agencies to see where they can place you, sometimes doing a contract lets you get a good feel for office work to see if you would like it or not. You aren’t in a long-term commitment it also allows you the ability to pick up on new skills for your next role if you decide that you would like to stay in the administrative field.

Just begin! Be open-minded and willing to take on any task. Be compassionate and have a heart for serving others. Being an EA requires leadership skills but also knowing when to follow versus lead. Take courses in Google Suite and MS Word.

I started my administrative career, right out of tertiary school with no practical background, just a passionate spirit, an eye for details and proactive and intuitive attitude. For me, it is that refreshing feeling and sigh of relief my bosses give whenever I throw in a calm in their storm.

If you enjoy working directly with different people and teams, addressing challenges head-on, prefer variety, are a servant leader in your own right, a change maker, strategic thinker, and natural problem-solver, the question should be: Why WOULDN’T you WANT to be an Administrative Executive?

Don't be afraid to network and explore new opportunities. My first job and my first job upon relocating were not as a result of notice on a staffing agency but from word of mouth. Opportunity may also arise as a result of temping which may lead to a permanent job. I was a temp at a company for twelve months and was then offered a permanent position at an affiliated company for twelve years.

The evolution of technology is reshaping the responsibilities of assistants, yet their significance remains constant. Assistants will continue to be essential, whether in classic tasks like organizing schedules and supporting executives or in leadership roles such as office managers, project managers, event coordinators, and more.
