Job Titles to Administrative Assistant

One of the most used alternative job titles for administrative assistant is secretary. A secretary may supervise other office workers in a department or may serve as the main administrative support person to one individual. 

A more general category an administrative assistant fits into is that of administrative support. Administrative support personnel perform a wide range of clerical tasks.

Executive secretaries are generally considered the highest level of administrative support personnel, people who provide exclusive assistance to one or just a few top level officials in a company. They work primarily doing information management, preparing reports for distribution and other related tasks.

Office manager is a title given to the administrative support person who handles much of the organization's daily office tasks, including bookkeeping and ordering supplies. This individual may help resolve problems with vendors and customers, and is usually the go-to person in the company when dealing with clients
