Sounds like you know at least enough for a junior admin job if you can find one. What you’re missing is the “street smarts” that only comes with experience. How things actually work in real life businesses, with real life users and salespeople and managers and C-levels throwing shit into the sauce.

Getting the job is going to be the hard part, for numerous reasons that have nothing to do with you personally. It’s a shitshow out there. Best of luck.
