Career Advancement with a Career Degree

Posts Tagged ‘Administrative’

Currently I am a administrative assistant for a small (60 employees) steel company. I have been with the company for over 2 years. I have no college education. I would like to push past this position, whether I’m with this company or not, and make something of myself. What classes can I take to further myself?
Online classes would be helpful as I have a six year old son. Any suggestions?

At 22, I have graduated and am about to take on a position as an administrative assistant with a company with great room for advancement. In my current organization, I’ve noticed that all the people with this title are those without degrees. However, entry-level (ish) opportunities are hard to come by in the field of marketing/PR (my field) and I feel like an administrative role is all I’m going to get for right now until I build more experience. If I spent a year or two doing this, would this look bad to potential employers down the road?
