National Administrative Professionals Day: What is it and who is hiring?

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – Wednesday is National Administrative Professionals Day, which is also known as Secretaries Day or Admin Day.

National Administrative Professionals Day recognizes those who keep an office running smoothly every day such as secretaries, administrative assistants, receptionists, and other administrative support professionals, according to the National Day Calendar . But what exactly does an administrative professional do?

Every day is full of different tasks and not one day is the same. Organization is key to their success, as well as their flexibility and ability to handle the unexpected, which makes them valuable to any business. Some of their responsibilities are managing appointments, drafting letters and memos, booking business trips, coordinating appointments, and planning meetings. They also compile data and research information.

If you work with an administrative professional, one way you celebrate them on Wednesday is to give them a gift to show them how much you appreciate them such as flowers, gift cards, candy, or by providing them lunch.

If you are considering becoming an administrative professional, these places are hiring .
