Most professionals in this field typically oversee administrative tasks; manage filing systems, maintain executive schedules and plan diaries, organise and chair meetings with staff, or serve as the personal assistant to upper-level managers.
A good memory and great people skills are useful qualities for people in this field as they go about overseeing the day-to-day operations of an office. The Diploma in Office Management will teach you how to use those assets to your advantage, and provide you with the skills to reach your own career destination on schedule.
