Do any of the following statements sound familiar?

 

Once a secretary always a secretary!

I have been in my job so long and there is no where else for me to go?

I will put up with my job because I am too old to learn!

I am only a secretary – what else can I do?

I have got all my skills and knowledge from experience and have no qualifications – where can I go to?

I am in a rut – where to now!

 

If you said ‘yes’ to any of the above, there is good news!

 

The secretarial profession has grown in leaps and bounds over the last couple of years and in order to keep up with the changing trends in the workplace, it is necessary for secretaries / office professionals to keep abreast with the changes by doing continuous learning.  By building up your skills and knowledge, you will find that there are many more opportunities in the workplace for you to aspire to.
