  美国的秘书“越老越吃香”

  美国是个职业化程度很高的国家,秘书工作也毫无例外地实现了高度职业化。在美国,秘书是个既严肃又体面的职业,不仅从业者众多,而且也很受尊重。

  据美国劳工部统计局的数据显示,目前,美国全国秘书从业者约为300万,是美国从业人数最多的行业之一。

  在美国,秘书往往被人们看成是分身有术的万事通。无论是商界秘书,还是政界秘书,他们除了要具备最基本的文字、外语、计算机技能之外,往往还需具有很强的沟通协调能力和敏锐的洞察力、判断力,在单位的角色可谓是举足轻重。秘书的工作内容很多,从日程安排、内勤接待、后勤服务到会议策划、公关服务、出谋献策等,范围很广。难怪有人形容秘书是“八爪鱼”。

  在美国,秘书这个职业有点像中国的中医,真是越老越吃香。比尔·盖茨在创业之初就聘请了42岁的女秘书露宝。比尔·盖茨在提到当初的创业时总忘不了提及这位秘书。露宝稳重细致,几乎成为公司的灵魂人物,她和盖茨的完美配合成为了微软公司一道独特的风景。

  为了肯定“秘书”的贡献,1952年经两位美国资深秘书提议,美国宣布设立秘书周和秘书日。1955年,美国正式将秘书周定在每年4月份的最后一周,而这周的星期三被定为秘书日。
