Companies use temporary work for replacements, temporary reinforcements, or year-end accounting periods. Recruiters look for good proficiency in office tools, organisational skills, rigour, and strong interpersonal skills. Depending on the position, knowledge of accounting software, payroll systems, or an ERP is a key asset. Spelling and high-quality written expression remain important criteria for administrative roles. Administrative assistant positions are generally accessible with a high school diploma or a 2-year degree such as a BTS in SME Management or BTS SAM (Support to Managerial Action).

Temporary work allows you to discover various sectors and work environments, enrich your CV, and develop transferable skills useful in any company. It is also a recognized pathway to permanent employment: many administrative or accounting assignments turn into long-term contracts (CDD) or permanent contracts (CDI). Yes, most tertiary jobs are daytime hours, from Monday to Friday, which makes organizing personal and family life easier. Additionally, hybrid remote work has become established in many companies for administrative and accounting roles compatible with working from home. ![Deux personnages stylisés dessinés au trait noir consultent ensemble des informations sur un écran.](https://www.actualgroup.com/_ipx/w_640&f_webp&q_75/https://natural-captain-d84c893901.media.strapiapp.com/FAQ_Illu_Black_92e27a3e9b.png) ## **Visit a branch** **600+ Actual branches at your service to guide you in your search:** ![Experts Actual en agence](https://www.actualgroup.com/_ipx/w_2560&f_webp&q_75/https://natural-captain-d84c893901.media.strapiapp.com/Illu_1_B_1_69a9e834db.png) **Not from afar** ## **By your side** ### **Train with Actual** Develop your skills with our training pathways.
