The findings indicate that HND secretarial graduates are perceived in different ways by employers like, saying that they are intrained graduates, executive assistant shorthand typists etc. also employers were of the opinion that HND Secretarial graduates should possess personal qualities. Employers use interview and selection tests as the tools for selection of secretaries and also have unfriendly attitudes towards their secretaries like nicknaming and abusing them.
