Just a word to the wise not to necessarily trust anyone from a message board or chatroom albeit there are some very helpful people here :) No one really knows the person's motivations behind the 'job offer' or 'job lead'. Perhaps look in the sunday classified section of the local newspaper and also apply to some temporary job agencies to get some experience that way.
Please also be wary of job sites such as craigslist as a young woman applying for a 'nanny' position advertised on craigslist was tragically found dead in her car trunk. A 19 year old male was arrested in connection.
Please don't trust those 'work at home' offers either especially if asking for money upfront or asking for personal info as it can put one at risk for identity theft: http://www.ftc.gov and can click 'identity theft' or such.
If wanting to get additional training in administrative/clerical, please opt for the more affordable county vo-tech school or community college as opposed to those private $$ career schools.
For general job/career info: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'secretaries and administrative assistants', 'file clerks' or such.

I regrettably don't have a job for you but I will say you're one of very few on this site who knows how to spell. That alone nowadays, should get you a very good position. Good luck.
