Secretarial Competencies

I have worked as a secretary for the federal government for the past 14 years. The agency I work for has been in existence for the past 16 years. We do not have secretarial competencies established, and I have been tasked to lead a group of four to write them for each secretarial level. I contacted our HR to see if they have any guidance I can use. I was told that this is new to the federal government, and I would have to start from scratch. HR also told me that I can use information from the private sector and incorporate it into my documents. Does anyone have a good web site I can go to or have a competency dictionary I can access or any help at all? Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Joan Burge's book "Inner Circle Assistant" lists 12 key competencies assistants must have to perform their jobs. I would refer to this as a general reference. You may order this book from her web site, www.officedynamics.com or Amazon.com. Anonymous on 10/1/2009 9:02:51 AM
Our HR department recently revised the titles of the four admin support positions. Maybe these job descriptions will help: Administrative Specialist http://hr.nau.edu/apps/classified_descriptions/description.php?job=70000 Administrative Specialist, Sr. http://hr.nau.edu/apps/classified_descriptions/description.php?job=70005 Administrative Assistant http://hr.nau.edu/apps/classified_descriptions/description.php?job=70300 Administrative Associate http://hr.nau.edu/apps/classified_descriptions/description.php?job=70010 Jacque Buchanan on 10/1/2009 8:06:37 AM
