What kind of jobs do you get with an Associates degree?

What kind of jobs could I get in an office setting with an Associates Degree?

  • What kind of jobs could I get if I have a Associates degree in Administrative Associate/Secretary, Medical Administrative Assistant or a certificate in Office Support? Thank you

  • Answer:

    It is all dependent on what an employer is seeking in a candidate. Some insist on a college degree; others could care less as long as you can do the job. Different companies use different titles for mainly the same job: secretary/administrative assistant/executive assistant. . . .etc., etc. Most end up doing the same tasks.

You could be a secretary or an administrative assistant in a a large corporation, a small business, a nonprofit, a university, even a government office. In these jobs, at the very least, you will: -- answer the phone a lot and either answer the questions of the callers or direct the callers to other staff, as appropriate -- answer emails and either answer the questions yourself or direct such to other staff, as appropriate -- keep the office filing system in order; when a staff person takes out a file, they will often leave it in a tray, for you to refile later -- retrieve files for staff -- type internal memos and external official correspondence on behalf of other staff members -- put together presentations (probably in Microsoft Powerpoint) -- sit in on meetings, take notes, type these up and distribute them to attendees -- manage at least one database of some kind You will probably also be trained on specific forms of software that a particular department or agency uses.
