Administrative assistants are often the backbone of an organization, providing support to managers, teams, and clients. They handle a variety of tasks, such as scheduling, organizing, communicating, and problem-solving. To succeed in this role, they need not only technical skills, but also soft skills and personality traits that help them work effectively with others and adapt to changing situations.

Hard skills for the administrative assistant are the overriding technical office skills that you bring to the workplace. Hard skills can be learned and can be acquired through training, work or a combination of both. Hard skills are considered transferable which means, once learned, you can transfer them from job to job. That’s because hard skills are standard across industries and would be very similar at several different organizations and industries. Hard skills are considered measurable, which means an employer can test you on these skills.

On the other hand, soft skills are personal qualities that allow one to relate to others more effectively. Some soft skills include having a positive attitude and effective time management. Also called people skills, soft skills are considered social skills such as communication skills, listening skills, character or personality traits, attitudes, and emotional intelligence, such as the ability to show empathy to others. Once learned, these skills will enhance your personal interactions on the job.

Sustainability is a big buzzword in modern architecture – and not just when building the world’s tallest wooden skyscraper. According to the Green Building Council – an authority on sustainable buildings and communities in Australia – the built environment accounts for nearly 40% of “global energy related carbon emissions,” with materials and construction alone accounting for 11% of that global total. But once a recently approved residential high-rise in Perth, Australia, is erected, there will be no mistaking how central sustainability was to the project. Why? Because it would stand as the tallest wooden skyscraper in the world.

Envisioned by an Australian architecture firm, C6 (the project’s name, which is derived from its location at 6 Charles Street) aims to incorporate hybridized timber not just for floor paneling, but as an essential structural element throughout all of its 50 stories, making up a substantial amount of the project’s total materials. As a result, the architecture firm claims that C6 will use “around 45% less concrete than a traditional building of a similar scale”.

There’s no timeline for the completion of C6 just yet. But don’t be surprised if this landmark inspires other sustainable-minded architects to eclipse its benchmark by the time residents are moving in.
