Want to know how many secret superheroes there are hard at work in the UK right now? The answer is millions.
Yes, millions! All over the country there are folks beavering behind the scenes in administration roles, with millions more in positions that use administration skills.
Sadly, very few get to wear supersexy superhero cozzies or drive batmobiles.
But if you’d like to join them, the good news is a new career in admin can offer aspiring candidates a range of great career opportunities – not least because your talents are needed in just about every organisation, large and small, in every sector.
Beyond the traditional responsibilities of filing documents, arranging diaries and essentially helping the business to run as smoothly as possible, today’s admin professional will always go one step beyond.
This means pinpointing new and innovative ways of streamlining work processes and coming up with masterplans to boost business.
So let’s discover the top two traits possessed by the superstars who often work unrecognized behind the scenes to achieve great things.
You never feel the need to show off
One of the best qualities of a top-class office administrator is that you never have ambitions to hog the limelight or take a standing ovation.
This is a selfless virtue that allows you to get on with the real work that makes any business really successful, instead of chasing recognition.
Of course, this doesn’t mean you won’t win plaudits anyway. Any manager, MD or CEO worth their salt knows exactly who’s stepping up to the plate and deserves to be shown the gratitude of the company.
Your loyalty is beyond question
When you land an admin role through s1jobs you’re not signing up to serve with the marines. There’s no drill sergeant and there’s no need to get on the floor and give 100 press-ups for the corps.
What there is, however, is a mutual recognition that you do serve the company to the very best of your abilities at all times.
When you have the best interests of your company at heart the business thrives and your colleagues are motivated and content.
And don’t forget: one other thing loyalty brings is reward. When your diligent administrative work makes things run smoothly, expect this to be recognised with upwardly mobile career opportunities.
