What is it like working as an Administrative Specialist?
April 2016
My Experience as an Administrative Specialist.
Administrative Specialist:
Pros: I love that our agency is making an impact in the lives of the people we ar serving.
Cons: I do not like some aspects of the office culture, the fact that some employees can get away with and do certain things that other employees aren't allowed to do, or would be fired for doing. The pay grade is laughable, in regards to the amount of work I am doing.
March 2016
Work Hard.
Administrative Specialist:
You get promoted by working hard. If you think you've worked hard enough, work harder. I have been with my company for over a decade. My supervisor continually comments on my hard work. I put in the time to get the job done and take pride in your work. If you make a mistake, own up to it and fix it. At the same time, make sure you take time to yourself. Work hard, play hard.

Be Prepared.
Administrative Specialist:
Be prepared for changing environments. Learn how to adapt and manage yourself and others. Have the courage to speak up for yourself to prevent "burn-out" and becoming overwhelmed. If offered, take the help from your co-workers. Be kind and understanding. Get used to constantly being needed. Enjoy helping/serving others if you don't there's a long road ahead.
