I want to work in an office but I don't know what the specific job titles are? What are some things I can do at an office? What can I become at an office? What classes can I take?

Best Answer:
A business management degree would work well with your desire to work in an office. Of course any degree can be used to get an office job (computer science/engineering, english, history, etc). Common office jobs: Manager Office Manager Mortgage people Consultants Computer programmers Lawyers Vets Title companies Company staff (tons of different jobs). Way to many jobs to go through.

Office jobs can range from receptionist, where you work in a front office and greet people who come in, answer the main phone, take messages, make coffee, things like that...or much more like being an office assistant an office manager or an exwecutive assistant. I think the higher up you go the more education, experience and skill you need to have. The basics are easy. You must be able to have good reading and writing proficiency. You should be proficient on a computer, be able to type a letter, send a fax, file...have a nice manner and be willing to help in an office environment. I would say there are also specialized fields...for example a medical office assistant, a legal assistant. These are all very well paid jobs but require schooling. Also Executive assistants can make alot of money as they usually assist presidents of a company...but again this is not entry level and oyu must work your way to that.

There are countless positions that requires one to work in an office setting. You need to figure out exactly what you want to do. My recommendation is to figure out what industry you want to work in, i.e. Accounting, Administration, Human Resources, Health Care, Information Technology, etc. The list can go on and on. What interest you? Once you figure that out, start narrowing down your options until you find something that is suitable for you.

There are a lot of office jobs scuh as receptionist, administrative assitant, executive assistant, human resources manager, file clerk, mail room clerk, etc, etc. So, you have to find what field you like and stick with that filed. Mostly everybody works in an office. There are financial offices, non-profit, medical, law, etc. So, you have to choose which of these you want to work in and have a career.

If you work in an office all day you'll wish for an early death. Excuse my sarcasm, but I've worked in an office environment for 20 years and the tedium is excruciating. Make sure the job is something that you will find enjoyable and something that allows you to grow.
