An administrative assistant provides administrative support by following defined rules and procedures, preparing documentation, and ensuring timely and effective delivery of services. Key responsibilities include producing documents from administrative functions according to regulations, organizing documentation and events to promote managerial relations, and organizing the work of the administrative office and library through various projects. Administrative assistants must have strong communication, interpersonal, and technology skills to perform tasks like scheduling, receiving visitors, preparing correspondence, and using software programs. The role involves coordinating schedules, appointments, and inquiries while managing a high workload, though the work is primarily done from an office setting rather than being physically active.
