The Effective Secretary Certification
Secretaries are an integral part of any team. What once started as a simple role of keeping secrets and relaying messages has over time progressed into a career in and of itself.
Secretaries are the ones who are responsible for keeping the team organised, informed and working towards the set goals determined by upper management. But there is definitely far more to this simple role than meets the eye.
People who take the time to understand what it means to be an effective secretary often benefit from a deeper understanding about the job, develop a better sense of professionalism, and get to perfect their office skills, among many other benefits. Being a secretary is more than paperwork, it comes with many responsibilities and opportunities for growing professionals.
