I am Executive Secretary.My main responsibility as an executive secretary is to provide administrative support to high-level officials in an organization. I am also responsible for supporting high-level executives and management or entire departments. I provides administrative support and performs numerous duties, including scheduling, writing correspondence, emailing, handling visitors, routing callers, and answering questions and requests.

The evolution of technology makes us more productive, and tough economic factors force companies to downsize. As a result, as executive secretary I today don't just do traditional staff support work. I also take on increasingly more responsibilities, which individuals in higher management positions previously were responsible. These tasks may include project research and management, PowerPoint presentations and report generation.
