Good office managers and administrators will always be in need as long as businesses exist 

Calgary, AB - August 23, 2010 - All offices need to run smoothly to be efficient and successful.  However, to run smoothly, an office administrator is essential in keeping an office environment organized and there are a wide range of positions available to those who have office admin training.

Office Admin Jobs

Office admin and information clerk positions generally require strong interpersonal and business communication skills. Office receptionists are usually in charge of greeting clients.
