titlehough the secretary is most often thought of as "she" and the executive as "he", it isn't always necessarily so! In the early days of office work, most secretaries were male because women were considered too weak for such hard activities. 

       Now there are more and more men coming into the field. And more women are becoming executives. Jobs and careers are no longer decided by sex, but by ability. As long as the person has the quality of being a good secretary, he or she will be able to get the job. Good secretaries are always in demand. 


      A good secretary should be excellent in office duties. For example, when the boss has an urgent meeting, the secretary should not disturb him. If the boss is going to give a dinner party, he or she should make the reservation ahead of time in a restaurant.

        Good secretaries should also pay attention to their appearance and dress properly and neatly. They must be able to speak at least one foreign language. If a secretary is very skilled in using a computer, she is more likely to get promoted.
