Administrative Officer Reviews
What is it like working as an Administrative Officer?
February 2016
Administrative Officer:
Be confident in what you have to offer! Skills is one thing but you must also be willing to be open to other people's personalities and way of life/work especially if you are to be looking after them/supporting them in your new job. Of course you must always be professional when it comes down to the nitty gritty of the work however it definately helps to brighten the atmosphere and lighten the workload if we are doing our best to help others enjoy their work as well. In saying that, remember not to let others take advantage of your openness - don't be afraid to say 'No' if you really can't take on extra work or really can't carry out a request outside of your normal duties if you don't have the capacity to.
And don't be afraid to ask questions! It can sometimes be daunting to keep asking however better to know than to be in the dark! And finally respect everyone at every level and treat everyone equally and you will receive the same.

Keep cool. Just dont take anything to head.
Administrative Officer:
Admin is almost 24/7 kind of job and is very stressful. You never know what comes when. Mostly the job comes dirty to you and mostly at eleventh hour. Handling dirty jobs diplomatically is highly challenging.
Addressing complaints and answering people who complained are two different tasks handled in a different manner. You need to be firm with your downline people and convincing with the complainers.
Need lot of balancing.
