Secretary

<p>A secretary, <a href="/facts/Administrative_assistant/lD1ugpSN">administrative assistant</a>, executive assistant, <a href="/facts/Personal_assistant/AUDQu70H">personal secretary</a>, or other similar titles is an individual whose work consists of supporting management, including executives, using a variety of <a href="/facts/Project_management/JgQVSU3o">project management</a>, <a href="/facts/Program_evaluation/JKwaUkRa">program evaluation</a>, communication, and/or organizational skills within the area of <a href="/facts/Administration_(disambiguation)/tAF93Wlr">administration</a>. There is a diverse array of work experiences attainable within the administrative support field, ranging between <a href="/facts/Internship/IT2WCE7P">internship</a>, <a href="/facts/Entry-level_job/mSt9hTHW">entry-level</a>, associate, junior, mid-senior, and senior level <a href="/facts/Pay_bands/mY1U1KwE">pay bands</a> with positions in nearly every industry, especially among <a href="/facts/White-collar_worker/ckJEIdEM">white-collar careers</a>.   
</p><p>The functions of a personal assistant may be entirely carried out to assist one other employee or may be for the benefit of more than one. In other situations, a secretary is an officer of a society or organization who deals with correspondence, admits new members, and organizes official meetings and events. But this role should not be confused with the role of an <a href="/facts/Secretary_(title)/3eFaJDWC">executive secretary</a>, <a href="/facts/Cabinet_secretary/xXdV7bVC">cabinet secretary</a> such as <a href="/facts/Cabinet_members/MEBNClTt">cabinet members</a> who hold the title of "secretary", or <a href="/facts/Company_secretary/LWCMK0Mh">company secretary</a>, all which differ from an administrative assistant.
