Secretary
9 open positions in this category
A secretary in the 0318 series is the administrative anchor for a manager or office: managing calendars and correspondence, arranging travel, tracking actions, preparing documents and acting as the point of contact for everyone who needs the office’s time. Office automation, meaning the use of word processing, spreadsheet and database software, is part of nearly every position.
Recent listings have included secretaries and office automation secretaries at Veterans Health Administration facilities, at the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys and the Office of the U.S. Attorneys, the Office of the Secretary of the Interior, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Air Force Materiel Command and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, along with an administrative assistant.
Applying tip: an “(OA)” or “(Office Automation)” title carries a typing requirement of 40 words per minute that you must certify in the application, and the questionnaire will ask about specific software and about handling correspondence for executives, so describe the level of the people you supported and the volume you managed. The entry-level guide explains the clerical grade ladder, and the federal resume guide covers presenting administrative work.
