What You'll Do: As an administrative services manager, you are in charge of all the support services within an organization. Your duties might include ordering supplies, planning budgets, and distributing mail, and the purpose of your work is to keep the organization as a whole functioning as efficiently as possible. The majority of your work can be done from your office, but you may have to travel to make errands, supervise workers in other locations, or inspect other facilities.

You probably work in the education or healthcare industries, but you could be employed by a technical services company, an insurance or financial services provider, or within a number of other sectors.

Full-time hours with overtime are most common for this line of work, and you may be counted among the 25% who are scheduled more than 50 hours per week. Since you are likely on call all the time, it can sometimes be hard to enjoy your personal life when you must return to the office whenever help is needed.

Education and Training: It is possible to become an administrative services manager with just a high school diploma or GED, but most have bachelor's degrees in business or engineering. What's more important is that you have extensive work experience as a manager or supervisor.

Any type of work where you have demonstrated leadership abilities will be taken into consideration when you apply for the job. The most highly-valued experiences are directly related to your employer's industry. For example, managers who are in charge of inventory and distribution should have worked in warehousing, shipping, transportation, or shipping and receiving.

While not mandatory, getting the FMP, CFM, or both certifications will indicate your competency and make you a more desirable candidate.

The Future: The Administrative Services Management profession is expected to grow at about 15% through 2020.

The Pay: Annual salaries for Administrative Services Managers in the U.S. range from $41,400 to $135,300, with the average median annual wage hitting $81,000 in 2012 as per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
