What skills are needed for an admin job?
Overall, the skills needed will be dependent on the type of work you will be doing. In general however, the following skills will be required for most office support positions.
- Time Management. Offices have regular operating hours, and administrative support people must be there to run the office operations, which makes timeliness important. Being able to manage multiple tasks and prioritize them is a needed skill. Managing your time and tasks creates an efficient and effective office environment.
- Good Communication. Communication goes both ways and administrative jobs require high levels of communication skills, including listening and asking questions. Interaction with both co-workers and customers is critical and may include a wide diversity of backgrounds, opinions and personalities. Being flexible and open minded will help foster good communication.
- Organization. Administrative personnel are usually the first contact a client will have with the company, and therefore should create a good first impression by keeping a neat and organized work area. The ability to organize activities, calendars, notes, and paperwork is also of high value.
- Technical Skills. Depending on the title, you will need to understand specific software programs (Microsoft Office is a very common one), internet, industry and/or employer specific programs, apps and equipment. Standard office equipment needs to be understood, including phones/switchboard, copier/fax, calculators and more. You may be trained on specialized equipment but understanding of universal equipment, such as a computer and telephone, is a requirement.
- Problem-solving. While a job in the administrative field is overseen by management, most job titles will have you working independently with minimal supervision. This requires problem-solving skills and resourcefulness to satisfy needs without constantly seeking approval from management. This also includes being aware of and able to set up vendors for anything from office equipment repairs to catering delivery and office supply purchases.
