Clerical jobs refer to office-based roles that involve organizing files, drafting messages, scheduling appointments, supporting other staff, etc.
Imagine clerical jobs as the backstage crew at a concert. They may not be visible on stage but they are crucial for ensuring everything runs smoothly - from managing schedules (like tour dates) to handling communication (like fan mail).
White Collar Jobs: These are jobs that typically involve mental or clerical work rather than manual labor.
Administrative Support Workers: These individuals provide support services within an organization such as record-keeping or carrying out administrative tasks.
Office Automation: The use of information technology in order to reduce manual handling of information and processes.
