Welcome aboard!
I love being an Administrative Professional. This is my career and I love it. Yes, there are times that it gets tedious and/or boring. But those times pass quickly enough. As an AP you need to be self-motivated and a self-starter, it is one of the keys to getting over those tedious and boring times.
I have done many things in my life from being a waitress (hash house, fine dining, and cocktail) to being an Executor Auditor for a major corporation. I have found none of these jobs as satisfying as being an AP.
This is my soapbox. So long as there are those in the profession who still view it as a stepping stone to bigger and better things, we will continue to have the challenge of our profession being given the recognition and creditability it so deserves. I feel that all those who have taken a position as a secretary, executive secretary, administrative assistant, or administrative professional and plan on using it as a stepping stone for other positions is doing every one of us who view this as our career a disservice.
So much for my venting. Thank you for listening.
