Question

What is an office assistant?

Answer 1

Its really its someone that helps out in an office.

You would normally need to have good computer skills - Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc and be good at organizing things.

The role has really evolved from a secretary role now that most of us do our own letters etc on PCs at work.

The work is usually quite varied and you would need to be able to get on with a wide range of people as you would probably have a number of people you would be helping out.

Hope this helps and good luck if your thinking of applying for a job in this role sometime in the future.
