An office is generally a building, room or other area where an organization's employees perform administrative work in order to support and realize objects and goals of the organization. The word "office" may also denote a position within an organization with specific duties attached to it (see officer, office-holder, official); the latter is in fact an earlier usage, office as place originally referring to the location of one's duty.

*(4b)*

 An efficiently run office is often the result of a great clerical officer.

1) Decision making: If you work as a clerical officer, you'll need to prioritize tasks and sometimes make decisions for your employer. Good judgment and well-thought-out decisions are great skills to have.

2) Good With People: Secretaries and administrative assistants are often the very first people you see when you enter a large office. They are the front line of defense and the first impression of the entire operation. They also interact with clients, customers and staff. They should communicate effectively, create a positive work environment and have experience in dealing with clients.

3) Writing skills. Written communication is a key skill of clerical officers who must respond to emails, draft memos and communicate with managers, employees and customers. Good grammar, fluid prose and a professional tone are all a must in written communication
