[nabop] Advice on performing general office tasks

[minh ha]

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. I subscribed to this list in order to
get some tips and tricks on how you all perform office tasks as a
totally blind person. A little bit about me: I am currently a junior
at Boston College double majoring in Applied Psychology and Sociology.
I am also from the Central Massachusetts area. I have an interview for
an administrative assistant position in my university's Corporate and
Foundations Relations office coming up this week and I want to be
prepared to answer questions they might have regarding how I can
perform the outlined tasks. I've pasted the job description below:

And a basic job description for our position is: Provide
administrative support to the Corporate and Foundation Relations team
in University Advancement.
Responsibilities will include updating alumni database; uploading and
indexing electronic filing system; scanning and copying; online
research/projects;
monitoring and reporting on CFR twitter account; working with
Development Assistants for data reports and clean-up; conducting
on-campus errands, proofreading documents,
and other general office projects. The position is 15 hours a week.

Most of the tasks described I can do with ease, but stuff like
scanning, copying, indexing electronic files and general office tasks,
I've never had any experience with. If I could get some suggestions on
how you all go about doing these jobs, I would greatly appreciate it.

Best,
Minh

their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." T. E. Lawrence
