YOU ARE

The Coordinator

The Coordinator

When someone needs it done, they look to you — the most organised person they know. You’ll shine in a career that requires an eagle eye for detail. Read on to discover what kinds of jobs and opportunities suit you.

The Coordinator
icon-chart-purple

Efficient

Your systematic approach allows you to easily see the best way to execute a project or task.

icon-hands-on-purple

Practical

Figuring out logistical problems is usually a breeze — or an enjoyable challenge.

icon-full-time-purple

Organised

Staying organised is second nature to you, and you keep lots of relevant information in your head.

Congratulations, you are the Coordinator. Efficient, practical and organised, you can whip any chaotic situation into shape — fast. In your spare time, you might be found in activities like building a collection, researching your family tree, or playing team sports.

Because you have a good head for data, information, and processes, you’re drawn toward jobs that involve administrative, behind-the-scenes tasks. If you’re looking for career inspiration, some good places to start are in the administration, finance or logistics sectors.

Making it look easy is the hardest thing in the world to do.”

— Sarah Ban Breathnach


Three high-potential jobs for you

Without the work of Coordinators, everything would simply fall apart. You make sure everything is running as it should, and can be found doing many kinds of important work that involves organising, administration, and making things happen.

These careers could be your perfect fit:

 

 

1. Supply, distribution and procurement manager

Make sure that goods get where they need to go, on time and on budget. Create and optimise efficient processes for producing, purchasing and distributing goods.

Building effective relationships
Attentive listening

icon-full-time-purple

Organisational skills

Planning
Time management
Digital literacy


Technical skills

While technical skills depend largely on the industry or occupation you’re in, here are some skills in demand across the Coordinator cluster.

 

Clerical skills

Across many roles and sectors, clerical skills are in-demand. Broadly, these include basic computer operation, communication (verbal and written), time-management, organisation, and critical thinking — things that allow you to stay on top of your workload and manage tasks effectively.

 

Business administration

While business administration skills overlap with clerical skills, they’re more focused on business operations and increasing productivity in the office. This skill set includes things like financial expertise, problem-solving abilities, hiring and recruitment, and motivating staff.
