How to Find Administrative Assistant Jobs

When searching for an administrative assistant job, your first, best stop might be a temporary staffing agency. Many companies no longer post job openings. They contact a temp company to supply candidates to try out for a short time. Then the hiring of a permanent position comes from those who have worked in the temporary positions.

You should also check local online boards and newspaper ads. Listings there can be under the headings of administrative assistant, secretary, or clerical worker.

Big online boards, such as Monster and CareerBuilder, have sections of administrative assistant jobs, but you can also find listings on boards specifically for administrative assistants.

Mention to everyone you know that you are searching for an administrative assistant job. They may know of positions that are not advertised.

Visit or call companies or organizations that you think might need workers. Sometimes you will learn of openings before anyone else does.

If you have taken computer or business classes, speak to fellow students or instructors for jobs that they know about.
