Ten Essential Communication Skills in the Workplace

7. Anticipating Needs

A great assistant is able to anticipate and help others before they even ask for it. A great assistant will be proactive and do the work that is needed to support the company, rather than waiting for approval or directions.

You may want to update the contact information in your company’s database. You can make your work easier by updating the list. You will be able to impress your bosses with this.

8. Teamwork

Administrative assistants must think of their office as a whole. It requires a smooth transfer of work and mediation. It is important to ensure quality and accountability for the team. This can be vital for employers. Make sure that you are able to describe specific events in an interview as examples of your competence. You can use it in any setting. For example, a sport team, or a voluntary role, is just as effective.

Some admin assistants are part of a team that includes admin staff. Others provide support only. In either case you’ll need to understand the goals of the company and the teams that work within it. This helps you evaluate your own role and how it contributes to the company’s objectives. In this role, self-motivation and initiative are essential. You’ll need to work in a team, but you will also be responsible for your own workload.

Bonus skill

Business Intelligence

Administrative assistants that are familiar with the business model of a company become indispensable to a business. Candidates should demonstrate that they understand what the company does and how it functions.

Make sure that you know as much about the company as possible before your interview. You can learn more by visiting the website of the company, calling up to arrange an informal meeting or speaking to the person listed in the job advert.

Focus on the management strategy, deadlines, and workflow of the company. This knowledge can help you organise and prioritise your work efficiently, saving you time.

Ending notes

Employers are looking for employees who have the ability to manage their own work. You can move up by improving your general administrative skills. You will have a competitive advantage if you can demonstrate solid skills in these areas and practical experience.

You should always read the job description, advertisement and applicant specifications before applying for a position. You should tailor your application to the business that you are applying to. Do your research about the company if you want to be different. It is a great advantage to know what the interviewer wants to hear. Consider developing specialist skills to demonstrate versatility (such as coding or accounts software).
