A Window of Opportunity
Entry-level administrative jobs can be a great foot in the door. If you don't have a lot of experience in your field, a clerical or administrative position can really give you a chance to show off your raw skills.
A lot of entry-level administrative positions are made up of a myriad of odd jobs. It may seem like tedious work but it gives you an opportunity to show your versatility and your patience and, most importantly, your drive. Doing boring, simple jobs well proves that you take your career path seriously and you are willing and able to work your way up. The pay may not be the best either but, again, administrative positions can really give you a chance to prove yourself to your boss and develop and sharpen your skills at the same time.
If you find a place that you want to work for but your skill set isn't developed enough for the position that you really want, start at the bottom. No employer can turn down someone that is passionate about their company and is willing to start at the bottom and grow with the company.
