If you keep the Office running then you sit in the middle of it all. It's your job to keep things moving forward. Your role is critical but other people only notice if something doesn't get done.
However, your position is unique because it involves many things and many may be unique to your situation:
- keep things organized
- answer the phone
- take messages / notes
- deal with customer requests/complaints/changes
- make documents
- contracts, transmittals, change orders, work orders, invoices, letters, and many others
- file documents
- schedule other peoples time
- appointments
- individual tasks (work)
- groups of tasks (check lists/punch lists)
- miscellaneous items “to do”
- communicate
- print, copy, fax, e-mail, and pass along urgent messages to people that can't be located
- and anything else that needs to be done...
All this work requires juggling, managing, and keeping track of details (information). All of it needs to be organized, scheduled, and communicated to the people that need to know.
