As a data entry clerk (or database administrator) it's your job to update and maintain information on computer systems and in archives. It's an important role as information in these systems is only valuable if it is accurate, up to date and useable. So, what will I actually be doing? Information you work with might be text based or numerical. It could be paper-based information that needs logging into spreadsheets or databases. As master of the archives, you might have a company facing role where it is your responsibility to help other employees find the information they need. It is also quite common as you move up the ladder to combine the role of data entry clerk with a customer service advisor role.

Full-time and part-time opportunities and even some flexible working shifts are quite common these days. There are a lot of roles out there as many companies have huge databases which need a specialist to keep them up to date. As your experience grows you may be able to move into a more supervisory role, overseeing a team of clerks and training new recruits. You might also choose to specialise in customer services and in time move away from the data entry side of things altogether. A move into IT may also be possible if you've been on some of the training courses.
