Preparing for the 2022 CAP Exam with Marie
You are just a secretary. I can't count how many times I have heard that from Executives. I am so much more than just a secretary. I am your calendar manager, event organizer, project manager, IT support, cat herder and so much more. I make sure you are where you need to be in plenty of time with all the right documents, presentations and notes to hold a successful meeting. I am your note taker to make sure that tasks you talked about in the meeting are assigned and completed and presented on time. I anticipate your needs and events that might happen to prevent them from happening as well as deal with them when they do happen without notice to those on the outside.
I have not spent years at school learning my trade. I have spent years in the field growing from a State Tested Nursing Assistant to an Activity Coordinator to an Administrative Assistant and to my current role as Executive Assistant to the CEO. In my position I am able to assist our CEO achieve her goals for our organization, still able to learn new things and am also able to share my knowledge with fellow co-workers to help make their jobs easier.
I think it is important for all administrative assistants to be recognized for the skills they bring to the game. An important step for Administrative Assistants is to become certified. So I am taking that next step to show that I am more than just a secretary. I am going to become a Certified Administrative Professional.
