A typical day on the job: Busy! I am the only office staff, and typically get several phone calls, drop-ins, etc. each day to go along with my daily/weekly duties with deadlines.


Positive things about being an administrative professional in this industry:

There is a “bank” of volunteers available to help out with large projects and tasks like the monthly newsletter. I like having an opportunity to provide people with things to do where they feel like they make a difference and/or have a purpose.

Family will always, always, always come first over job. (Having worked for an employer with less leniency, I have really appreciated this!) The mindset is “the work will get done” and everyone works together to find a way to make it happen.

I have the opportunity to be a comforter & encourager and respond to people in need every day. Co-workers are typically up-beat and positive and faithfully supportive. Also, since the organization consists of many members, it’s like being part of one big, caring family!

Negative things about being an administrative professional in this industry:

As the “front door” person, I have one chance to make a good first impression. That sometimes means that I put on hold things that are deadline sensitive to respond to a person that comes in for assistance or church business.

I have had to learn how to work with numerous interruptions. This has been the biggest challenge.

Nonprofit administrative assistants must pay careful attention to detail. Not only should he should have strong typing skills, but he must also possess strong grammar and spelling skills as he'll likely have to proofread other's work. He must also communicate well, as he'll often act as gatekeeper for his supervisor. Sound judgment and discretion as well as organizational skills are other desirable traits.

Good listening: Everyone who comes into the building during business hours comes through me. I have to listen closely to make sure I understand their need, determine who can meet that need, and connect them to the resources they need. Also, many times people who come in are emotionally hurting and/or in a crisis. Listening is one way to let them know we care.

Good communication (print & verbal): I am responsible for all church publications (bulletin, newsletter, mailings, etc.). I also have to be able to verbally communicate to our staff members, church members and people coming to us for assistance.

The ability to “think on my feet”. Sometimes we have to get creative and respond quickly in a situation. Having ready “resource files” is a must.

Women's Return Into The Paid Workforce

Women's Return Into The Paid Workforce

Our Re-enter Program it is also a one-stop resource guide for women going through any employment transition. Our centre's goal for this program is simple, no matter where you are in your life, with help and a fervent belief from others and yourself, you can fulfill your dream career or follow your life's purpose.

We strongly promote it, check this out:

Re-enter Workforce



Guest Speaker & Facilitator:

Marisol Diaz is impassioned by the plight of women going back into the workplace after an absence. Her interest was born out of her personal experience. Whatever reasons women choose to be re-employed, they share a common denominator - lack of confidence and resources, finantial disadvantages, fear of the Unknown—technological advances, are they skilled, how do they balance business, family and private life, economics of working and is it feasible.

Recognizing early on in her research that insecurities permeates the soul of all women going through any employment transition - career change, becoming an entrepreneur or entering/reentering the workplace after an extensive absence, her solution was to let them know that they are not alone and that there is help available.

The programs at Ministry of Mission Organization have the purpose of helping women re-enter the workforce or to redirect their career. The Micro-enteprising Program for Women through “Employment Unlimited“. , is an inspirational, empowering program and training for women to jump hurdles to achieve success.


Marisol is committed to associate her ebook "Re-enter", with Ministry of Mission Organization Non Profit.( which host la hispaniola possibilities Project). A portion of the ebook's proceeds will be donated to help low income or abused women become self-sufficient in Canada and the Dominican Republic.

If you wish to be interviewed (you may be anonymous in the book), be part of a discussion group, or have any questions, suggestions regarding this project, contact her via e-mail at marisoldiaz@mail.com (please put the subject name as Women Re-enter, so she will know to open the e-mail.), please provide your name, e-mail and/or phone number to her contact e-mail.

Thank You. Your valued participation is appreciated !!
