targets/objectives

[unique]

In the administration field - what targets or objectives have any of you noted, either in the form of project or numerical regarding milestones or goals, based on key performance indicators ?

Great question - I would love to see some answers because after just brushing up my resume, all the advice I've read said that specifics--numbers, milestones, accomplishments--impress employers. Problem is, there aren't so many specifics in the admin field, it seems. All the daily duties seem to get mooshed together. I can't even quote the average number of documents I process per day.

Milestones for me, however, would be learning new tasks or programs, such as Pagemaker, putting together marketing files, learning how to create aerial maps, learning how to do large plans, etc.  Also being given more responsibility, such as teaching newbies how to do things, or updating computer files.

Targets/objectives would be setting a date to complete a task whether long or short term but mostly something that is attainable and achievable.  I would stay this would apply to an individual completing a task.

A milestone is something further down the road that may take much longer to complete.  For example we had milestones set at the beginning of this project which would be more of a team effort or company effort.

A milestone is usually a quantity of work completed--in our projects here, milestones are things like X number of defects remedied or 50% of the workload complete. If I were to apply it to my own work, it would be much easier to quantify the projects I'm working on (such as the current big one, which is maybe 90% complete, hooray). I hated milestones in my last job because it was strictly exec/team support, and there was no end date or end quantity that I could measure against.
