There are many benefits to administration jobs and some admin jobs in London are highly desirable. The role has changed considerably over the years and now involves more information and communication management, with less filing and other clerical tasks. Many executives type their own letters and correspondence, whereas in the past this would often have been done for them by secretaries or admin assistants. You will probably find yourself supporting the department or office through systems management, rather than the more traditional secretarial tasks.
