Secretarial Services - Secretarial services you can provide

What secretarial services should you offer?

Your skills will help determine what secretarial services you'll offer. For example, if you've got a good typing speed, you can provide transcription services. If you have design skills, you could provide desktop publishing, graphic design, or graphic layout. If you have legal or medical experience, you may want to target legal or medical clients.

Here are some secretarial services you can provide to home businesses, small businesses, and individuals. You don't need to offer all these services. Analyze your skills. Ask your clients what they need.

Typical services provided by secretarial services:

• Word processing or typing such as typing documents, promotional materials, letters, invoices, proposals, reports, memos, correspondence, manuals, books, manuscripts, resumes, job applications, briefs, price lists, templates, articles, meeting minutes, business plans, surveys, forms, miscellaneous applications, academic documents, legal documents, medical documents, term papers, college papers, theses, screenplays, and research papers.
  
• Transcription. Depending on your skills, you may specialize in legal, business, or medical transcription.
  
• Database work and data entry: mailing lists, mailing list management, database maintenance, and database management.
  
• Resumes: Resume typing, resume writing, resume preparation, resume consultation, interview preparation, and submitting resume to online job banks.
  
• Secretarial and administrative work such as filing, phone answering services, and scheduling.
