A friend of mine is working at a hospital.
He is an office worker, not an engineer.
As for the office workers, there is two types.
First is a person who works in front of the counter to count the fee.
Second is a person who deals with some chores in the hospital.
For example, these are employment of the hospital staff members , change the fluorescent lamp and etc.
My friend is a later.
I used " a clerk" when I introduced him to a foreigner.
Then she said "it isn't proper word ".
She added "the clerk" is a person who works in front of a counter.
I said again "an officer", but my answer seemed to be not appropriate.
Please teach appropriate words.

私の友達は病院で働いています。
彼は事務員で技術者ではありません。
事務員にはふた通りあります。
第一はカウンターの前で会計をする人です。
次に病院全体の仕事をする人です。
例えば、職員の雇用、蛍光灯の交換をするなどです。
友達は後者です。
外国人に彼を紹介するとき「クラーク」使いました。
彼女は「適当ではない」といいました。
「クラーク」とはカウンターの前で働く人だと付け加えました。
私は「オフィサー」といいましたが、どうやら適当ではないようでした。
適切な言葉を教えてください。
