Abstract

The present research has as general objective to analyze the possible factors that hinder the hiring of professionals from the Executive Secretariat, to work specifically in their area of training in public and private organizations in the state of Paraíba. The theoretical references used to base our research was supported by authors such as Giorni (2017), Marinho (2015), Matteu (2013), Bond and Oliveira (2009), Durante, (2012), Veiga (2010), Neiva and D'Elia (2009), among others. The methodology used is classified as bibliographic, exploratory and quantitative. In order to carry out the data collection, we used a questionnaire that was applied with executive secretaries graduated in the Executive Secretariat course of the Federal 2 University of Paraiba – UFPB – at least in the last 06 months. The results achieved demonstrate that the main factors that hinder the hiring of the Secretarial Professionals are related to the possibility of other professionals, that is to say, of other areas, such as Letters and Administration, being able to compete for vacancies or exert activities that should be specific to Secretarial Professionals; as well as the lack of acquaintance about the profession by companies. The research also revealed, as a positive point, the fact that most of the graduates interviewed are working in the labour market, although in other areas related to their area of training; reinforcing how much the professionals of Secretariat are multifunctional, being able to perform diverse functions, seeing skills and competences they possess.
