The Success of a WM Office Manager.
Administrative / Office Manager:
Because you are the face of the company, it is critical to engage with each client as a friendly professional by providing exceptional customer service. This occurs when you treat each person as if they are the only person you are helping while still staying very aware of the needs of those in the office at the time, externally and internally. Your knowledge of the all facets of the office is beneficial to running a smooth front desk and administrative office. If you don't have an answer, make sure you find one and assure the visitor or employee finding the answer is your primary, immediate goal. Use excellent communication and live by the motto, "the customer is always right." Organization is another absolute necessity when handling a busy office and ensuring things to run smoothly. Communication both verbally and written are primary skills that will be relied upon as well as required to serve with a positive, informative and efficient attitude.
November 2016
I wish I new the true expectations and hours needed.

Administration Service.
Administrative / Office Manager:
Administration is not a service department but can be a profitable support department, in that correctively implementing and diligently maintaining documentation can save the company profits on various items.
