During your career as an administrative professional you may be asked to take the minutes of a meeting.

In this capacity it is essential that you know what needs to be done and that you can take clear and accurate notes because the role of the minute-taker is primarily to create an official record of the meeting.

The minute-takers responsibility

In any formal group, the role is to be guardian of the process of meetings.
