Front Office Clerk job outlook: Expert opinions
Our panel of front office clerk experts
Manhattan College
What are the biggest trends we'll see in the Front Office Clerk job market given the pandemic?
Robert Geraci Ph.D.: Two critical things happened in 2020 that will bring changes to the job market: the COVID-19 pandemic and the social justice movements, particularly the Black Lives Matter movement. In the aftermath of COVID-19, I expect we'll see considerable demand for health service professionals as people look to cope with difficulties imposed by isolation. In addition, we'll see shifts in how and where people work--many will be able to remain at home and this will create a shifting landscape of job descriptions and opportunities. Many employees will want to go back to the social experience of working together, but others will prefer the flexibility of working from home.
The impact of Black Lives Matter and other social justice movements will create more interest in the development of products (especially, but not exclusively, in entertainment) that are available to and interesting for a wider swath of society. There will also be growth in business consulting efforts to improve corporate culture. Religious Studies graduates will be particularly well-positioned for such jobs, based on the cross-cultural perspectives gleaned from study in the field.
What soft skills should all Front Office Clerks possess?
Robert Geraci Ph.D.: The ability to read, write, and think critically are timeless skills. Applying these thoughtfully to social media could be a particularly crucial skill as companies seek to brand themselves effectively and avoid public missteps that come from cultural ignorance and/or myopic views of the American public. Students in Religious Studies receive an education that recognizes cultural diversity and have opportunities to think about what is or is not an effective and accurate perspective of different peoples.
How have salaries changed over time for Front Office Clerks?
Robert Geraci Ph.D.: There is no professional field in Religious Studies. Students who major in Religious Studies typically end up working in the private sector, though many also join government, NGOs, and other international organizations. Salaries in these latter fields have been--as far as I'm aware--relatively static. But private sector jobs, especially those in tech companies are on the rise. The ability to help a company expand its audience and promote positive publicity will be of ongoing worth to companies as they expand their global footprints.
