Administrative assistants don’t just answer phones. In fact, their duties are vital to the daily operations of an office. They process important data, organize manager meetings, and deliver superb client service under immense pressure. Learn a little bit more about the qualities and talents needed to land a job as an administrative assistant.
Multi-Tasking
An administrative assistant performs a wide variety of tasks on a daily basis. No matter how big or small the company, an administrative assistant’s role is an important one. Because administrative assistants are constantly organizing schedules, forms, travel information, and spreadsheets—while also responding to emails and answering phone calls—they must be talented multitaskers.
Computer Skills
Administrative assistants need to have a working knowledge of popular office software, like Microsoft’s PowerPoint, Outlook, Word, and Excel programs. With so much work done via computer, you’ll also need to be a competent at typing as well—45 words per minute or more.
Organization
This profession requires organization on several levels, like time management and project priorities. If they don’t keep up with their duties, it could affect the ability of other departments to meet their deadlines. The job outlook for administrative assistants who keep up the fast-pace that surrounds them is good.
Communication Skills, Phone Etiquette, and People Skills
You never know if you’ll be speaking to the head of the company or a disgruntled customer whenever the phone rings. No matter how hectic the day becomes, an administrative assistant always answers the phone in a friendly, welcoming way. Some refer to this as the “smile you can hear.” Administrative assistants need to communicate with several teams within the office everyday as well, so face-to-face people skills are also a desired quality.

Are you worried that you will be unable to afford your Associates in Applied Science (AAS) degree? Even though the economy has faltered in the past few years, loans and scholarships can be found. Some of the financial aid opportunities available for students in Tulsa include:
Federal Loans and Grants
As a promoter of equal access to quality higher education, the U.S. government offers or supports many low-interest rate loan and grant programs. Included among these are:
Limited to students with financial need who have yet to obtain bachelor’s degrees, Pell Grants are attractive because they do not have to be repaid. More than five million American students receive Pell Grant aid each year.
A highly attractive loan option, a Perkins Loan carries a fixed interest rate of just 5% and is subsidized by the federal government.
Through part-time work at the school in which they are enrolled, students can earn monetary awards that are applied directly to the costs of their schooling.
To find out what federally funded or supported aid you qualify for, complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by June 30th.
Private Assistance Loans
Individual colleges, such as Career Point College in Tulsa, offer private assistance loans to help students who can demonstrate financial need pay for tuition and fees. Interest rates and repayment periods on these fees vary, and are based on a student’s demonstrated financial need and credit score.
Scholarships
The most appealing financial aid options for most students—and the hardest to qualify for—are scholarships that do not have to be paid off. Students who perform highly on the Career Program Assessment test (CPAt), an entrance exam required for admission by many continuing education schools, may qualify for merit-based scholarships that can help defray tuition costs.
At Career Point College Tulsa, we believe that every student deserves a chance to receive the quality education he or she desires. This is why we work with the federal government and private donors to make as many loans, grants, and scholarships compatible with the education we provide as possible.
