B. Summary of The Journal

Secretary in a company, basically are not just a clerical work or a paper work, but also
the one that responsible to help the leader gain the successful in work place. They have to be
quick, smart and effective in doing any of their jobs. They have to do the preparation in
order to make a good and relevant workplace for the leader to reach his goal.
Beside the effectiveness of secretary, they also needed to be efficient and reliable, both
in paper work and instrumental work that uses instruments like computers. They need high
computer proficiency so they can gain a satisfying result.
Secretary must know all details of the office, have a specific knowledge that can help
them in their job, know the culture of organization, know much about general knowledge,
have the ability to use Indonesian, English, and other language that needed, and mostly, has
the suitable behavior for their performance in work.
This research has a goal to know how far the secretary can help the leader in their
range of job and fulfill their competency in their field.

C. Strength of The Journal

As we see from the journal, we can find many knowledge that support the issue
contained inside the journal. The theories that included give a good explanation bout the use
of secretary in work place and emphasize the probelm explained inside. The explanation
 about what and how a secretary must have and behave that compiled inside gives more
explanation and makes it rich knowledge. One thing that cannot be forgotten, this journal
has both good coherence and cohesion plus well structured, makes it a great place to gain
more knowledge about secretary.

D. Weakness of The Journal

Filled with some point that is not needed in the explanation of the problem. Lack of
explanation related to the data that already gathered from field observation and the article
mostly covered by the data gained from literary sources, even though the fact is
observational data is better and richer than literary data.

E. Conclusion and Suggestion

So far, we can conclude that this journal article has made a good explanation of the
term “secretary”. The issue contained inside is well discussed and genuinely observed
mostly through literary sources. This journal compiled some theories from some experts that
emphasized the issue discussion. The journal also pretty well structured. Even though there
are some little weaknesses that can be found inside, the journal is still well made and I quite
recommend this journal to be a good source for next research, especially that related to the
work competency of secretary.
I mostly suggest the author of this journal to put more explanation about the
observational data that already gathered in order to give better understanding to the reader
about the problem.
