Hi,

I am working at a builders and developers Co and though I am efficient and talented my higher authorities feel that I am incapable of working independently and I need to be supported by a Higher Authority. This is the 7th time that i have been told that I am smart but I need someones support to bring out my duties and I am not aware of the duties to be followed by an Office Adminiatrator due to lack of experience


What are the day to day duties to be performed by an office administrator, I mean what are the activities inculded esp. at an builders & developers Co and in a Software Co? And also what are the major roles to be observed... Please Guide ....

Answer 1

Whatever they want you to do, job titles don't always mean the same thing to everyone.
They may want you to simply answer phones, photocopy, fax, do some data entry or they may want you to plan company events, make airline reservations, arrange hotels, oversee janitors, order office supplies and manage the entire office staff maybe doing bookkeeping and HR work.
Ask them what they want and be glad they think you are smart and can learn the job. Take on all duties you can and accept guidance when you can't.

You could start by learning to spell, punctuate, and type coherently. Your employer, no doubt, notices that you have awful spelling and grammar skills, and this will significantly hamper your ability to do anything at all successfully in business. If I were your manager, I would never trust your ability to report things to me, based solely on your inability to communicate clearly and without major errors. Hope this helps...honesty sometimes stings.
