You would handle telephone calls and visitors and respond to questions; coordinate and arrange meetings; establish office procedures; design, set up, and maintain office filing systems (including electronic); resolve day-to-day operational problems; coordinate information flow by acting as a liaison among key executives, staff, other employees, and the public; and operate equipment which requires the skilled use of a standard alpha-numeric keyboard to produce correspondence, reports, and other agency documents.
