An administrative resume has to be clear and written in a manner that your experience seems relevant to the job you are applying for. This could mean that you have to highlight some information in such a way that it makes an impact on the employer.
Since the administrative resume is written for applying for a high managerial post, the resume should follow a chronological order. It should clearly show your skills and background. Here a few simple steps to write your resume:
- Start with your personal information like name, address, contact number and email address on the top of your administrative resume. In other resumes it does not matter if you don’t include your email address, but including it in an administrative resume shows you are familiar with the computer.
- Also include an objective in your administrative resume. Don’t write the objective using a specific position. For example, ‘To find an administrative post where I an effectively use my skills to grow within an organization’ can be rewritten giving a more broader perspective, ‘To use my five years of administrative experience in making the company achieve new heights of success.’
- Include your list of jobs starting from your last job to the first job of your career. Also include specific dates, company name, job title and the responsibilities you handled under your job title. It is advisable to leave the dates out of your administrative resume if there are gaps in your job history.
- Adding a skill section in your administrative resume can be very helpful. It could include typing speed, word processing skills and other software applications that you can work on.
- In the end, make a section for your educational background. This will include the degrees you hold, with the additional administrative seminar or secretarial training you have under gone.
