Today, there are more than 4.1 million secretaries and administrative assistants working in the United States, according to U.S. Department of Labor statistics, and 8.9 million people working in various administrative support roles.
I am one of those 4.1 million people. I support a Sales & Marketing team, most of who work remotely - located across the United States.
At my workplace - there are a few other women in an admin. role that I wanted to recognize. I made each one of them a little gift and will place it on their desk before they arrive tomorrow morning.
Growing up, I always enjoyed writing lists, organizing, & planning (still do!). In high school and college, somehow I was always chosen to be the "secretary" of the group.
I guess it was only natural that I transitioned into a career as an Administrative Assistant. Although, my heart lies with Stampin' Up! and hopefully one day, I can be a full-time Demonstrator.
Until then - Happy Administrative Professionals Day to my fellow Admin's!
