Office Administration is a wonderful foundation. My previous boss was an office administrator and she kept the office running seamlessly. She was probably the most important person in the office. She handled every thing from making sure the employees had the coffee and food to fuel their day all the way up to renovation of 3 of our offices. I agree that the office administration certificate is a great multidimensional certificate that can take you anywhere your heart desires and will let you experience many different opportunities. Everyone needs an office manager. Take the certificate and use it to make yourself the most valuable person in your office! Learn as much as you can about anything you can get your hands on. The world is at your fingertips!
Thank you, this is really helpful.

Learn as much technology/computer skill as possible!!!! Most of the office administration involves with 2 major task -- people skill and tech skill. You may not able to develop your people skill by 1-2 classes, but def. able to polish your tech skill in a short period of time.

Hi there! I stared my career off with an Office Administration certificate and I think to make the most out of it you need to continue to learn more skills to add on top of the great knowledge from your certificate. Takign an office admin course is a foundation for success for any other career your want to get into. I have lever egged my certificate to take my career in a marketing/branding and event planning direction.
I always say, I wish everyone took the office admin course, because a lot of the things you learn in the course such as document formatting, customer service, and organization are skills some people are never trained to do! Don't undervalue the skills you learnt. Understand that from your certificate program you have learned key skills that others need. Identify what you are best at and showcase them for your workplace and become the go-to person for all those admin skills.
Hope this helps :)

Learn as much as possible...about everything. Even if it is outside your job description.
Network. Meet people. Make small talk.
Have fun. Always give your best.
