So, I don't know where this goes. But I have decided for sure I want to be a administrator. I would like to work in a office or somewhere and deal with paperwork and type stuff up and so on. I have applied to volunteer at this place called Citizens Advice Bureaux. I am waiting for them to reply and I have applied to other places too. I can't wait any longer for this course to happen. I want to work as a admin there. So will this help me get a job as a administrator? I heard jobs in administration are hard to get. But really, my English is good. I have a C but my maths isn't too good. I got a D which isn't bad. I don't think it's hard. Just photocopying, typing, phoning people. That's not a hard job. It may require some skills but I can improve on it. I feel happy right now. I know what I want to do as a career. Any advice? Thank you ^_^

Absolutely it will help! Education gets you in one direction but working (volunteering) in THAT environment shows you can handle it AND learn the skills needed. Education is a step to getting the experience for some jobs. But I take experience over education with a lot more weight in most cases because that's where the more applied proof is.

any experience you can get will give you an advantage, and you should look into a typing course if you haven't done one, even if you can already type, they're quick courses and that little piece of paper could make the difference.
Good luck with your application.
