How to prepare for feedback in your first office administrator job

Added to the archive on 15 November 2026.

Turn a correction into a change you can test on your next shift.

If someone corrects your work, listen for the specific step they want done differently. Ask them to show you an example. In office support, a correction involving meeting times and incoming forms may be easier to remember if you write down the check you missed.

Try the revised step and ask for a second look

Use an appointments register to keep the correction visible if it fits the team’s process. Report back with the corrected result, especially when someone else is waiting on it. At the end of the week, check whether the same issue has stopped appearing and ask what to work on next.
