The requirement section of the specification for MANAGEMENT ASSISTANT:
The examples of work for this title are for illustrative purposes only. A particular position using this title may not perform all duties listed in this job specification. Conversely, all duties performed on the job may not be listed. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS: The Management Assistant series is distinguished from the Secretarial Assistant series due to the assignment of professional duties such as administrative research, identifying, analyzing and recommending solutions to procedural and/or operational problems or processes, and report preparation. Work is typically assigned on a project basis and generally does not involve the reoccurring or repetitive review of information or data.
License: Appointees will be required to possess a driver's license valid in New Jersey only if the operation of a vehicle, rather than employee mobility, is necessary to perform the essential duties of the position.
The full requirements, examples of work and knowledge tested are on the specification page.
