The duties listed for the administrative assistant include these: Performs routine secretarial and administrative duties (usually for more than one person), prepares reports and other materials, makes travel arrangements, processes expense accounts, and maintains company records. The correspondence specialist duties involve operation of the typewriter and other office machines to process letters and other records and data. Areas of competency in human relations and personal development are included (communication, self-development, personal appearance, office attitude, social and business etiquette, and job-seeking skills). Statements of competencies may be graded at either the secondary or postsecondary level, and the competency records are intended to follow through vocational training at both levels. Tasks in the task list are cross referenced with those in the booklets for other secretarial/clerical jobs. (MF)
