What skills do you need to work at a retail store?

What skills do i need to work in a office?

• Answer:

  It depends on which job you are aiming for. There are special jobs for people who just do documentation electronically. There are administrative assistants who make airline reservations, set up meetings, plan banquets and award ceremonies. There are assistants who type up correspondence. There are financial assistants who do bookeeping. I assume you mean general office work, a little of all of the above. You need excellent communication skills, superb grammar and spelling, flawless personality for dealing with the public, impeccable dressing, the ability to be warm and kind even when being blatently insulted, the willingness to do demeaning tasks like go get lunch or pick up dry cleaning, you must have excellent computer/telephone/switchboard/compositi... skills. You need good math skills and bookkeeping abilities if you will be doing this in a bank, investment, or realtor's office.
