Business, Admin and Law
If you do administrative or clerical work you will be using lots of different skills to help keep a company running smoothly. You are most likely to be working in an office doing things like dealing with enquiries, word processing, filing and photocopying. Many large offices are open-planned, warm, and busy, which means that there will be lots of people working around you. With smaller companies, however, you could find yourself working in a small office by yourself or with only one or two other people. We have included financial services such as banking and accounting in this sector. Both are about helping people and companies to manage their money.
