ASKING FOR A RAISE.
Administrative Assistant:
An Administrative Assistant is more than just a simple secretary. You are the backbone of the company. You are the first to be seen by Clients, customers, vendors, etc.; you are the first to be heard (on the phone) by the same group of people. Though your job description might not say so, you support every single department within your company from tasks such as ensuring that the office retains the supplies needed to function, to making flight and hotel accommodations for your superiors, to creating and maintaining spreadsheets used for budgeting company expenses. Your role will allow you to obtain experience and gain knowledge of various disciplines, thereby, opening doors to further your career. Whereas your co-workers may be specialists in their one specific field, you will become of master of many.
