Write a CV that wins your next Admin secretarial job
Be sure to include all the essentials:
Your details
Name, address, direct contact number (one that can receive voicemail and you check it regularly) your email address
Personal Profile/Executive Summary
A paragraph about your main headline experience, achievements and interesting points. Should be short and punchy.
• Secretarial Work experience –
You most recent admin secretarial job first,
continue in reverse order
including your admin secretarial job title,
the name and the location,
The company website
dates of your secretarial jobs for each company.
Use bullet points to highlight your achievements in each admin secretarial job so the hiring manger scanning your CV can quickly match up your experience with their secretarial jobs description.
Avoid simply explaining what you did in your secretarial job day to day.
Most people know the general remit/job description of an admin secretarial job for example, so steer clear of listing your responsibilities in a HR style and stick to showcasing your main achievements.
Keep your old information to a minimum, in general no-one wants to know in depth what you did 15 years ago, keep older admin secretarial jobs down to a line or two.
• Education –
Again, in reverse order, give brief details of your academic and professional qualifications (for example administration degrees) along with the levels you achieved.
• Skills –
Languages, specific, relevant courses. (for example legal secretary courses etc)
• Hobbies & Interests –
Keep it short and not over personal. Highlighting purely work related hobbies comes across as a bit sad.
• References –
.Are not necessary on CVs
• A clear and simple layout
2 pages max
