Spanish term or phrase: Encargada
Constancia Laboral de la empresa TWITTER, C.A. de Venezuela, Ciudad Puerto Ordaz

El cargo que están describiendo es “Encargada”

…presta sus servicios en esta compañía desde hace 3 años desempeñándose como “Encargada”

En este diccionario encontré la traducción de “Encargada” como “Manager”, pero luego el que firma la carta es un “Gerente”. Por ende, no puedo traducir “Encargada” como “Manager” y “Gerente” como “Manager”.

Administrator
Explanation:
This used to mean a fairly senior position up until about the 1970s
In my experience it now just means clerk, typist, office assistant etc. etc. and quite probaby office tea and coffee maker

So, what will I actually be doing?

If you want to become an information officer like our interviewee in the video above then a job as an administrator can put you firmly on that career path. Filing, making travel arrangements, taking bookings, looking after visitors... Every office needs an efficient administrator who can ensure that everything behind the scenes of a successful company is running smoothly. Without one, things quickly start to fall apart.

This is a great job for those who like to dabble in a variety of tasks and can multi-task with ease. As an office administrator you’ll be expected to turn your hand to jobs such as:

Sorting out the post
Answering the phones
Ordering office stationery supplies
Greeting clients
Typing
Filing
Managing diaries


The finer details...

You’ll usually be based in an office, and full-time administrators will work 35 hours plus a week.

However, there are plenty of part-time and flexible working options for administrators, and having a good work/life balance is a perk of the job.
