Furthermore, a
personal assistant or secretary means any person that works for another
in the company no matter what she does have. Secretary could be a typist
or it could be a full blown personal assistant or administrative
officer. No one can say that they are secretaries without doing certain
tasks regardless of whether they have got the qualification or not.
A senior executive in a large Syndey based company defined secretary as an “appendage†of the boss.
The boss secretary relationship is the subject of rumour and gossip and a secretary may either save or destroy their bosses.
Consequently,
a word processing assistant portrayed as the extension of her boss
loyal trustworthy and devoted. She is expected to have honour and obey,
relieving her boss of the routine and the trial, creating the condition
for his detachment from the mundane rituals of everyday life. She is the
gate keeper, protecting her boss from those who would waste his time
and went to know his private business, meditating his relationship with
the outside world.
In the same vein, a secretary is a kind of
co-partner with the employer. It is the duty of a secretary to save the
boss a great deal of detail and as much routine work as you can. Think
for him and anticipate his needs, learn his preferences and obey them
even if you do not always agree with his ideals. Assume that he is
always right.
She should be a person who is on the conservative side
of dressing simple and neat. Secretaries are the center of attraction
all the time in the office, for both the employer and the callers.
Always
be a person who save the management and create the pre-conditions for
their bosses advancement. Most of the pressure of the job is in the
sense of being close to the center of power, participating in decision
making, having confidential knowledge, having power to act on behalf of
the boss.
When a person has successfully undergone training as a word
processor, or secretary, such a person is then vested with some
responsibilities like copying typed word production of official document
like letters, news, reports, he or she also cleans and maintains the
word processor as well as the general orderliness of the offices.
