about noc 1241, 1411, and 1411...

Hi folks, I am still working on my employment letter and I get confused about the job duties for 1241 ( Administrative Assistant, type B). It looks so similar to another two Type C jobs -- 1411 (Office clerks） and 1441 ( administrative clerk, type C). Can anyone tell me what are the main differences between these three? I am guessing that under 1241, you have more managing & decision making tasks to do, including establishing file management systems, train other staffs on systems and office procedures, as well as edit and proofread documents? I am looking forward to hearing about your insights on this issue

Anyway, here comes the different duties for these NOCs:

For 1441:

Administrative clerks perform some or all of the following duties:

• Compile, verify, record and process applications, licences, permits, contracts, registrations, requisitions, and other forms and documents in accordance with established procedures and schedules, using computerized and manual processing systems

• Assist in the co-ordination of administrative procedures such as budget submissions, contracts administration and work schedules

I'm not sure what kind of answer you're looking for where clearly there is some variation in the job description, with 1241 being the more skilled position.

If you are looking to pick a NOC for your employment, you need to chose the one you can most closely match your job description with. This is where many people see their application rejected (where the job description insufficiently matches the NOC stated).
