So if you're interested in being a secretary, good communication skills, both verbal and written, are vital. The typical workload of a junior secretary contains more clerical duties such as typing and photocopying. The more senior the level at which a secretary works, the more involvement there will be with responsibilities such as dealing with confidential documents, making all the arrangements for meetings and events and acting on behalf of the boss in his/her absence. Fears that advances in office technology would mean the end of the secretarial role were unfounded, nevertheless their role is changing. The most sought after secretaries are the personal assistants who are competent with computer packages and who often work much like more junior managers. Secretarial work is no longer perceived, as it was for some time, as suitable only for a woman. A century ago, before women went out to work, secretaries were male. Now men are choosing to come back to it, usually because they realise that it can be a very good way into a business or administrative career. Temporary jobs is a way of ensuring variety - you may not know what job you'll be doing the next day. To succeed, therefore, you need to be flexible and get on with a wide range of people and styles of working, as well as having a variety of skills. You do not need youth on your side to consider a career as a secretary - some employers prefer mature secretaries with life experience. Specialist secretaries work in a particular field where familiarity with specialised vocabulary and perhaps some background knowledge of the subject will be required e.g. medical, legal or farm work. <img src="graphics/staff.gif" width="150" height="39" alt="graduate recruitment, temporary jobs, london office jobs and secretarial jobs" border="0"> secretarial work - Employers look for excellent computer skills, accuracy, flexibility, commitment & initiative Be prepared to work in a team rather than for one boss Maturity can be an asset Temporary work is a good way of testing the water before going for a permanent job personal assistant (PA)- Must be a good organiser, able to co-ordinate projects, liaise with others and be assertive Have excellent time management skills Have good business awareness and decision making skills Speak another language - or two If you can do all these, then why aren't you the boss? A common cry! Well, with the right encouragement, some secretaries do make it to the top. Many secretaries have turned their skills to good use and moved on in their own field. There are also many secretaries who feel underdeveloped, underused and undervalued, women more so than their male counterparts. Choose very carefully the company you work for if you hope to move on from being a secretary to another job within the organisation. If possible, speak to someone who works there as a secretary already and find out what the prospects are for advancement, then, if you have an interview, ask about training and prospects for secretaries. training Skills vary from basic shorthand and typing to advanced or specialised training. Entry requirements vary according to the college. You can begin work as a qualified secretary if you have successfully completed one of the courses offered by one of the following organisations: RSA Examinations Board http://www.rsa.co.uk LCCI Examinations Board http://www.lccieb.org.uk receptionist work or administrator work - london office jobs If what you most enjoy about work is looking after people, being organised and doing liaison work - without too much responsibility - reception work can be interesting, and it can be an excellent part time job. Patience, tact, meticulous organisation and a mature outlook are invaluable skills in this work. As the first point of contact for an organisation, you need to be someone who can present your employer at its friendliest and most efficient. Work rotas vary so check the patterns fit your needs.

Whether you're in a bank, a solicitor's office, a computer company or working for yourself, you'll be affected. It's hard to remember how it used to be - before computers, email, the internet, voice mail . . . but these days skills in all these are highly sought after - and an amazing 40% of employers say they can't fill office jobs because people aren't sufficiently skilled. The telephone - nothing new about this tool, you may say - but these days some people spend their lives on it. Telephone skills are worth developing for any office job - especially if you're doing business, negotiating contracts or doing research over the phone. Where the phone plays an important role, good communicators will get jobs. The office desk - just how important is it? Desks side by side in open plan offices are the option for companies where space is at a premium, but how about hotdesking - sharing one desk with a number of people at different times. Some forward-thinking companies are trying out this theory that the employee's mobility - simply sit down at a free desk in the office and log in to your laptop - inspires less clutter and greater speed. So there you have it, if you are looking for a london office job, a secretarial job in london or graduate recruitment - look no further than Carlton Recruitment, a premier london recruitment agency.
