Natasha’s Answer

There are many ways to enter into the field of office administration and even more translatable skills and experience. Customer service, administrative duties, restaurant service, all of those types of jobs lead to acquiring skills to keep the logistics of an office running smoothy.

Useful skills would be the love of organization, details, logistics, and hospitality.

I personally found my way into an Office Admin role by joining a small startup company and as the company grew, so did my experience and role.

Azka’s Answer

I started volunteering in an office and this gave me some experience being in the workplace and helped me become familiar with administrative procedures and norms. I was then able to list this as an experience when applying for 'office' and 'admin' jobs. While studying at university I also worked for an office temp agency that helped me find holiday work in offices.

I'd say try to volunteer in an office job to gain some office experience and see if there are any agencies you can temp with. You could also look at local businesses to see if they have office jobs going. Starting off applying to smaller companies might give you a better chance of being short listed.

If you have another job or internship be flexible and eager to learn. this way you might be able to expand your role and experience.

Azka recommends the following next steps:

Volunteer in administrative role
Apply to local offices and businesses
See if there are any local agencies you could sign up - for temporary roles as experience
