Skills that move you up
Bookkeeping
Learn accounts payable, accounts receivable and one accounting package. Office administrators who handle the books are far harder to replace.
Payroll
Specialized, detail-heavy and always in demand.
Human resources basics
Onboarding, benefits, records. A common sideways move into human resources work.
Project coordination
Running schedules and budgets for projects is the step from administration into management.
Advanced spreadsheets and reporting
Pivot tables, formulas and dashboards. Unglamorous, and it changes what you get asked to do.
