Administrative Assistant Jobs in West Virginia

An Administrative Assistant works to support office functions and ensure that daily operations run smoothly. Their responsibilities may include answering and directing phone calls, managing calendars and appointments, preparing reports, maintaining filing systems, and providing general support to visitors. They often act as the point of contact for clients, suppliers, and team members, so excellent communication skills are crucial. Proficiency in MS Office, especially Excel and Word, along with strong organizational and time management skills are also important. The ability to multitask and prioritize tasks is a must. Certifications that can boost their prowess in the role include the Certified Administrative Professional (CAP) or the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification.

Prior to becoming an Administrative Assistant, a person might have roles that provide relevant experience and skills. For instance, they could start as a Receptionist, where they would gain experience in managing communications and providing customer service. Another possible role is a Data Entry Clerk, which would help develop proficiency in using office software and maintaining records. Alternatively, they may be an Office Assistant, assisting in various office tasks and learning how the different parts of an office work together.
