all depends on the company. Im a current admin and I do payroll, hr, accounting, maintain all records, billing, general office duties Other companies dont require the admin's to do all of these.





Good things to know include any Microsoft application (i.e. Word, Excel, Access, Powerpoint)





Definetely list customer service skills.ADVICE?! Im looking to apply for an Administrative Assistant, what would be some goof things to know before...
Most AA should be proficient with programs such as MS Word, Excel, and creating spreadsheets. They do a heavy dose of typing various documents and documents. They will also plan schedules, flights, meetings for department heads. Also, the usual clerical duties which includes answering telephone. Good luck to you!
Just be there comming in everyday and keeping good hours is the 1# thing and have a can and will do approach.
Most companies like people that know many computer applications even if it doesn't necessarily apply to your direct position. Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and Powerpoint are always great ones to know very well. Being able to type fast with high accuracy is obviously something that all companies love. Showing that you can work independently as well as in a group or under private management would be great for someone who wants to be an admin assistant. Good luck!
