Document Creation
We need to make sure we are following proper formatting when creating a document.
All documents should be written out using Arial font with the font size at 12. Make sure
we are using the proper spacing when formatting a document as well as making sure all
of our documents are accessible.

Professional Attire in the Workplace

Reminder to all employees to keep our attire neat and professional. Leggings are not
appropriate. Please keep in mind that heels higher than 4 inches are considered too
high, and may effect your comfort. Be sure to wear the appropriate length when wearing
skirts or shorts as spring is around the corner. And please make sure we are keeping
our hair well kept and our facial hair groomed.

Creating an ePortfolio
When creating an ePortfolio make sure you are using Weebly. Format instructions
includes a title and a description of the article being shown, as well where this article
came from and why you are adding it to the ePortfolio. Make sure you are following the
Essential Employability Skills that are listed as well.

Career Opportunities in the Office Administration field

Many jobs for the Office Administrator can be found online. You can use many job
search sites such as Ranstad and Indeed. Most companies require 2 years of more
experience, as well as knowledge using most Microsoft programs such as Word, Excel,
and Outlook. This field can be rewarding if willing to put in the work and time and can
grasp the concept of daily tasks as an administrator. You can work as an Office
Administrator for Medical, Executive or Legal.
