What is administrative support?
"A person responsible for providing various kinds of administrative assistance is called the Administrative Assistant (Admin. Assistant) or also sometimes an Administrative Support Specialist. Admin assistants perform clerical duties in nearly every industry. Some administrative assistants, like those in the legal industry, may be more specialized than others. Most administrative assistant duties revolve around managing and distributing information within an office. This generally includes answering phones, taking memos and maintaining files. Administrative assistants may also be in charge of sending and receiving correspondence, as well as greeting clients and customers"
