Description: "Administrative Assistant: Simulated Projects is a comprehensive workbook designed to help both administrative assistants working in the field and office administration students develop the skills to work with confidence in any office setting. Set in a fictional corporation, a training centre called Berry, Duthie & Miller, Administrative Assistant: Simulated Projects provides students with 180 hours of real-world office projects and tasks. Each project presents a theoretical scenario that guides students through the appropriate administrative steps using assigned resources, detailed instructions, and procedural guides. Students learn how to make travel arrangements and prepare for business conferences; coordinate mailouts; schedule formal, informal, and external meetings; and prepare fully for their job search in the administrative field. The text also includes detailed templates and sample documents to show students how to prepare meeting agendas, take meeting minutes, write clear and accurate office memos and emails, make and cancel appointments, and write a successful resumé and cover letter to help launch a career in office administration."--Provided by publisher.
