Student Jobs - Clerical:

July 4th 2006 00:05
Clerical and secretarial jobs are a good field for students to look into for part time employment. There are many small companies that are looking for part time or split shift clerical staff. These companies don’t have the means or need to have a full time secretary. Instead, they need someone to work in the office a couple days a week or for regular short periods to help keep the organizational side of the company in check. Other popular places of clerical employment are healthcare offices. Small surgeries, dental practices and GP offices will employ multiple office staff to help run the daily management of the practice.


A clerical job can help you make a small step towards the career that you are studying for whilst also helping your part time employment favour. Getting a clerical position with a company within your field of study may lead to future employment when you are fully qualified, expose you to industry contacts and may open the door to exposure and experience within the industry prior to formally finishing your studies. When applying for several clerical jobs, make sure the one you put in extra effort for are those that are in your field. Law students may look for employment as a legal secretary, human science or physiotherapy students would be good clerical candidates for physio or chiropractic centres.

The standard tasks a clerical staffer would be expected to perform would include answering calls, making appointments, banking and billing, possibly some account management, document processing, filing and greeting customers. Depending on the position, some other tasks may include typing documents, preparing for company meetings and visitors, note-taking and working a switch. Generally speaking the work is relatively simple and once you’ve got the hang of how the company manages itself, keeping on top of the tasks isn’t very difficult. Some clerical jobs can be more stressful than others. This can usually be gauged at the job interview.


Clerical jobs require a good level of communication and comprehension skills. A polite manor and presentable style is needed for customer relations. Most employers will look for a confident and polite phone manor.
