Would you have any tips for my new job position?

Question

I have recently got a job as a secretary at a furniture distribution office. I will be working with Quickbooks primarily, printing invoices, ordering furniture, sending out trucks to deliver furniture.

I feel a little intimidated because I have never done this before. (Have a secretary position or work in this environment.) I start next wednesday so I have time to learn some stuff over the weekend and such, but do you have any suggestions to make it easier to learn in the office? Thanks!

Answer 1

Sounds like your basic clerk stuff, but I would familiarize yourself with the process of selling and buying anything for a company. For example, do you know what each of these is--

Purchase Order, Sales Order, Invoice, Payment, etc.

Most companies of any size will have a standard process any time they buy or sell something. Just try and memorize a few terms. You'll do fine!
