What is a confidential secretary?

As a confidential secretary, you perform high-level administrative office duties for an executive or another senior manager. You often prepare confidential reports and documents, such as financial filings or internal memos. In addition, you maintain the office environment, procure equipment, make travel arrangements, and manage the executive’s schedule. A career as a confidential secretary does not require you to have formal qualifications or education, but you will be well served by prior job experience in a secretarial capacity and by the possession of related skills, including computer proficiency, a high level of organizational detail, and the ability to maintain confidentiality.
