Communication is so key in this role, but the ability to stay on track and keep others on track is essential as well. In my administrative department, my key players are able to rally to keep everyone on task and hold people accountable at every step of the way. Our departments goal is to make everyone else’s jobs 10% easier, better, or more manageable every single day. It will really depend on what field you’re in, the type of administrative work that needs to be done and what is expected of you, but as long as your able to stay on task and keep others on task, you’re going to do well!

In my experience, the most useful skills for administrative work are; - Communication and being able to work in a team environment, creating a positive cycle where you and your peers constantly learn from each other. When the team works as a unit, everyone's knowledge becomes a shared resource which just grows more whole and useful over time. - The ability to retain knowledge about your responsibilities, the resourcefulness to know where to find said knowledge, the flexibility to carry out your responsibilities on unforeseen circumstances... These are all skills that will make you reliable and a good asset to your team.

The thing I've found that no one mentions for Administrative work is how it requires you to be comfortable around technology to a certain extent. Being able to understand the platforms you will be using for your job will not only help you know how to maximise your time/effort efficiency, but also understand where issues might be coming from and being able to fix them on the run without requiring technical support. Also extending this knowledge to your team will greatly help your peers when to maximize their efficiency/reduce their issues. Aside from technology. I find that having good people skills, being able to communicate in a fluid, concise manner will help you carry out tasks with accuracy.

For the great luck I've had, this is my advice! Rely on your team, and be there for them when they need you. When you craft that true teamwork between yourself and your peers, there's little that can stop you. All of the team's strengths are complimented with each other, whilst the weaknesses are outright cancelled. Be honest, be transparent, communicate. Sometimes our work will leave us stumped and we will hesitate to reach out for guidance, but I've found that asking is always a far better idea than being stuck on one task. At the same time, be brave, be bold and do not be afraid to rely on your own knowledge. This will help you improve a lot! Be wise to know when that knowledge no longer suffices, that's when you reach out to someone!
