A job in administration most likely means you'll be working in an office. However, with the advent of "remote working" admin work from home roles are also common. Most administration work requires skills in organisation, time-keeping, communication and IT skills. As an administrator most often, your job will entail processing information on computers, smartphones, social media and databases. You will need to be able to keep records and may log financial information. You need to be able to work well in a team and be able to multi-task. You might lead on day-to-day organisation at the heart of a team or operate independently working on database entry or as a clerk in payroll or in personnel, for example.
