Secretary Jobs in Minnesota

A Secretary in the admin industry plays a pivotal role in ensuring smooth operations within an organization. They are responsible for handling office tasks such as answering phone calls, organizing files, scheduling appointments, and managing correspondence. They also maintain office supplies, prepare reports, and draft documents. Secretaries often act as the first point of contact for clients and visitors, so they must have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. They should also have proficiency in office management software like Microsoft Office Suite and have excellent organizational skills.

Before becoming a Secretary, a person might have held roles such as an Administrative Assistant, Receptionist, or Office Clerk. These positions help develop the necessary skills and experience for succeeding as a Secretary. Additionally, while not always required, having certifications like the Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) or the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) can enhance a Secretary's job prospects and prove their competence in crucial administrative tasks.
