Hey, um, I'm new to office work and really new to Glassdoor so forgive me if I'm not familiar with the etiquette yet.
I've been looking for a data entry specialist position but I'm noticing that it's really only a small part of the whole description of an admin assistant. Office work is still kinda unknown territory to me, so I was wondering how being an administrative assistant is treating you guys? Would this be something for someone like me to consider? Idk thoughts? Opinions?

I agree with what was posted. An admin position is complex. I worked in education for years and you needed a BA to even be considered for that position. In healthcare, it all depends who u support, but generally ur relied on heavily, so the skillset takes time to acquire. If this is where u want to go, start in data entry or reception. Be a sponge… absorb /learn all you can. Build a network of colleagues and ask tons of questions. Be indespensible. You will get there

Being an AA is several steps up from data entry. It's very complex. You should do some research and see if you could do it. It's not an either/or type of thing.

Hi, just wondering how the staffing situation has been in strategy consulting in general? My sibling started a job in strategy in Silicon Valley 2 months ago after MBA.
