Well, basically, these are some essentials in being an outstanding admin:
1. Know Microsoft Office products frontwards and back. This includes word, excel, powerpoint, access and outlook.
2. Become very familiar and efficient with bookkeeping software, like Quick-books.
3. Type fast and accurately
4. Develop a professional and courteous phone mannerism.
5. Learn to be discreet and respect your employer’s and your clients’ confidentiality
6. Dress professionally
7. Be at least on time to work, be available for over-time
8. Be committed to team-work
9. DO NOT discuss your personal business at work.
10. If a co-workers(s) invites you to lunch, go and try to develop good working relations with them. But again, that doesn’t mean that you discuss your personal life.
11. Develop extraordinary attention to detail
12. Leave your personal problems at home and always try to be positive and energetic.
