Dear Friend,

I need your help. I am working in a small organization. I am preparing the quotation which was given by my senior. I am keeping all the records of POs. I am preparing statements i.e. the material list provided by us. I am preparing shutter orders. I am handling all inwards and outwards.

Am I working as an administrator? Can anyone tell me what an administrator does? I want to know because if I decide to pursue another job, will my experience be considered relevant for an administrator role?

Please send me your response. Initially, I joined here as an administrator. However, now it seems like my work only involves keeping file records, and I am unsure of my role. Am I working as an office assistant or as an office administrator? Please, can anyone clarify this for me?

I am eagerly awaiting your reply.

Regards,

Bhaskar prediction is right. I think Stores also comes under Admin dept in many organisations. Pon

Dear Madhavi,

Your job seems to be partly as an Administrative Assistant and partly a sales coordinator. In small organizations, work assigned may not align perfectly with given designations, but one must be willing to adapt, change roles, and take on different responsibilities as needed. This presents an opportunity to gain valuable experience and facilitate personal growth. Additionally, you could explore if there are opportunities in other fields within the same company. If not, consider making a switch.

All the best!

Thank you for replying. My work is just preparing P.O., statements, shutter orders, and keeping all file records. Only this is my work. I understand now I am working as an office assistant. Now I am feeling bad. It's only my mistake. Thank you again.
