Administration Jobs

Administration jobs covers a wide variety of administrative work in the management of any office, business or organization. The type of worked performed by Administrative staff can vary from reception duties to salesperson.

People applying for positions in Administration work need to be neat and tidy and on the most part enjoy working in a team environment. Because of the variety of administrative tasks performed in a office or business skills needed can vary greatly from job to job. This also goes for schooling or University studies as some Administration jobs require little schooling whilst others require University degrees.

Some basic Administrative skills

• Computer skills - Generally in this day and age of computers most people in an administrative job will need to have some basic knowledge in the use of a computer. This can include anything from entering data to using spreadsheets.
• Record Keeping - In most Administration jobs records need to be kept, some records may need to be stored on computer whilst others may still have paperwork to be filed. With computers the need for keeping paperwork is certainly less than it used to be but some documents which contain signatures may need to be kept.
• Telephone Skills - Obviously if you are answering telephones you will need to be polite and helpful to clients or other colleagues. There are certain skills, which need to be applied when answering telephones if dealing with difficult clients.

Salaries for Administration staff can range greatly depending on qualifications and experience. Starting salaries in Australia can start from $30,000 and range upwards from there depending on education, knowledge and experience.

Education and Training are important tools for working in an Administration job but certainly not a necessity depending on the job. These special skills can be obtained by taking up Tafe Courses or University Courses. There are many opportunities for Graduates in Administrative roles, there are many Government Jobs available to University Graduates and it is certainly a great way to get into the workforce and gain valuable working experience. The State, Federal and Local Governments have the most administrative positions in Australia so anyone interested in applying for any of those positions should look up the Government website's where most jobs are posted.

Conditions of employment of Administration Staff can vary depending on where employment is found but generally office hours would be from 9 till 5. In the government times are usually much more flexible with most administration staff having the opportunity to work any times from 8 till 6. Within the government it is usually possible to apply to go part time after you have won a position within the organization as opposed to private enterprise where they are generally much less flexible. Room for advancement within an Administrative position usually depends on the size of the company, the larger the company the more room for promotion. For this reason the government is a good place to get started as there are so many more vacant positions to apply for.

Some examples of administration work are Secretary, Receptionist, Office Manager, Payroll Officer, Accounts Officer etc.
