Goals for Admin Asst

hi,

what are the goals of a admin assistant?

Professional goals? Personal goals? Please clarify your question.

would be good to have both. thanks.

If you are thinking about goals in an interview question here is a suggestion from a Dalhousie University site:
"(12) What are your long-range goals:
The interviewer is trying to find out whether this position fits in with your long term plans. The items to stress are that you like the company/organization, you hope to become a valuable employee, and that you hope you will be in a role which challenges you and enables you to make an effective contribution to the company.
Even if you know beforehand that the organization has opportunities for advancement and encourages it, be cautious about making statements concerning your desire for promotion. Excessive enthusiasm for advancement can be misinterpreted as dissatisfaction with the job you are starting in or as future problem competition."
