[closed] How is an office manager selected out of a hiring pool of possible applicants?

Greetings,


My name is Aimee and I am a senior with a passion for business and management that drives me forward. My love of learning for life propels me to gain information and seek answers when I need to learn a concept and request job information. My academic knowledge has helped me to figure out how to remember business information and apply it across different business sectors. When a potential person is selected, what is his or her qualities that make him or her stand out from the rest of the job pool?


Thank you for your cooperation and help :)
Aimee

Hi Aimee. The answer to your question is dependent on the type of office you're managing. For example, a doctor's office might be very different than a small business office or a large corporate office. In general an office manager could be responsible for a number of things such as:



  • Staff management/recruitment

  • Payroll, taxes, licensing, bill management

  • Office organization -- process, procedure, record keeping

  • Facilities management including lease/rental agreements,

  • IT infrastructure, furnishing, decor, equipment (if not provided by building lease management company)


As far as selection is concerned, if I were hiring an office manager, I would look for someone who is organized, mature, has leadership qualities, is dependable, proactive, & a good planner. Someone with general business skills, with a good sense of what it takes to run the business would be preferred. Depending on the environment, this person could also potentially work themselves into an Operations role.
