Office administration
Administrators keep offices organised: diaries, records, communication and the everyday systems teams rely on.
What the work involves
- Managing calendars and meetings
- Filing and records
- Drafting correspondence
- Coordinating suppliers
Questions to ask yourself
- Do I enjoy bringing order to busy environments?
- Am I a clear written communicator?
Try a beginner activity
Design a simple filing system (folders and naming rules) for one month of household or work documents.
What a course alone won’t do: Administration courses can strengthen applications, but employers usually also look for practical computer skills and experience.
