For many people, working as an administrative or clerical employee can be a stable and satisfying career. Many executives and other high-powered professionals repeatedly state that their offices would simply cease to function without qualified administrative professionals, and the work of these employees does not go unrecognized. After all, what other profession has its own day of the year? Doctors don't, lawyers don't, but administrative professionals do: Administrative Professionals Day, the Wednesday of the last full week of April every year!

The duties of administrative and clerical employees can be as varied as the organizations they work for. Some workers in this profession generally perform traditional secretarial duties such as answering phones, arranging schedules, and generally being the "right hand" man or woman to an important executive. However, what ties together the duties of many other administrative professionals is that they are assigned the task of dealing with many of the routine, yet important duties that come with running an organization. In addition to performing these vital duties directly, administrative professionals are often charged with finding ways to automate routine tasks and perform them more efficiently.

Perhaps the best thing about being an administrative professional is knowing that you are making a valued and regular contribution to an organization that badly needs you. Every business has a variety of daily tasks to perform and rules and regulations to comply with that could easily be a huge drain on employee productivity, negatively affecting competitive advantage relative to other businesses. Administrative and clerical employees are therefore absolutely vital in freeing up many of the resources of businesses to focus on their core missions and succeed in their markets.

On top of all its other advantages, administrative and clerical work is truly a growth profession, both in the number of jobs that are expected to be available as well as in terms of opportunities for advancement. Increasing recognition of the vital role of administrative and clerical employees ensures that quality jobs at all experience levels will be available in this field for many years to come.
