I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?

As an Admin Assistant, I'm fine with the title...secretary would be outdated. There are levels for Admins though...Admin/ Admin1 / Admin 2 / Admin 3 / Senior Admin / Exec Admin. An alternative is Admin Coordinator.

like

I agree secretary would be very outdated. My title is Senior Administrative Assistant. Titles are based on levels in my company. Level 1 admin asst Level 2-3 Senior admin Asst or Executive Asst. Level 4 Admin Coordinator, Admin Manager

like

For an intern level, I would recommend going with a coordinator title instead of the assistant title.
