I want to work in an office. What are some specific jobs I can do?

If you work in an office all day you'll wish for an early death. Excuse my sarcasm, but I've worked in an office environment for 20 years and the tedium is excruciating. Make sure the job is something that you will find enjoyable and something that allows you to grow.

There are a lot of office jobs scuh as receptionist, administrative assitant, executive assistant, human resources manager, file clerk, mail room clerk, etc, etc. So, you have to find what field you like and stick with that filed. Mostly everybody works in an office. There are financial offices, non-profit, medical, law, etc. So, you have to choose which of these you want to work in and have a career.

Office jobs can range from receptionist, where you work in a front office and greet people who come in, answer the main phone, take messages, make coffee, things like that...or much more like being an office assistant an office manager or an exwecutive assistant. I think the higher up you go the more education, experience and skill you need to have. The basics are easy. You must be able to have good reading and writing proficiency. You should be proficient on a computer, be able to type a letter, send a fax, file...have a nice manner and be willing to help in an office environment. I would say there are also specialized fields...for example a medical office assistant, a legal assistant. These are all very well paid jobs but require schooling. Also Executive assistants can make alot of money as they usually assist presidents of a company...but again this is not entry level and oyu must work your way to that.
