Today's office professional does a lot more than type and file. To get ahead, an administrative professional requires a wide variety of skills including project management, computer applications, organization, scheduling, communications, research, filing and electronic record keeping, customer service and event planning. The role of the admin is changing so rapidly it's hard to keep pace these days.
