My training and work experience has always been focused in secretarial science. I would appreciate any advice you could give me. The telephone will most likely be a part of your new employment but the use of a headset will enable you to utilize it without the hand and shoulder movements required in the use of a receiver. Use of a PC is now possible for you because of voice recognition software that is now used by those who cannot type or choose not to. A career in the supervision of less experienced general office workers, of telemarketers, or of customer service representatives is also a possibility.
Office management is another.
My friends in the placement field tell me that a great number of administrative positions go unfilled because of the lack of experienced secretaries and administrative assistants. This current market shortage will enhance your chances of finding a company more willing to accommodate your needs and to provide the flexibility necessary for you to work effectively. You might also seek out a career counselor either in private practice or as part of the services of the state Department of Employment and Training. Other nonprofit work-related programs such as Operation A.B.L.E. and Jewish Vocational Services have career counselors as well. I might also note that the career section of many bookstores provide a broad selection of books relating to career exploration.
