Resume title
My resume consists of jobs relating to customer service, banking and clerical. However, at this time I am looking to get a position in administration (clerical, entry level administrative assistant). How can I incorporate my background into an objective? What about the title? Could I get some help with that too?
Nope. Quit thinking back. Think forward. The Objective should not necessarily incorporate past experience. It needs to specify the future - what kind of position you seek. I suggest Objective An entry level Administrative Assistant position. Then follow that with everything that makes you look like an admin.
Thank you very much. I came up with one title - Clerical Desire. So far I have had two recruiters send me emails in regards to my resume. Thank you.
dontyou - I'm glad you had a couple of inquiries already, but I would recommend that you change your title/headline from "Clerical desire" to something more descriptive. The best titles have your intended job target, plus one or two of your best credentials. Something like: Administrative Assistant - Diverse Industry Experience / MS Office Expert might work. Good luck in your job search! Kim Isaacs The Resume Expert
The KEY is to focus on your transferrable skills rather than change of fields. Customer service is customer service, no matter which industry you do it in. I worked in banking, then switched to the brokerage business, and then to hotels. But all of these still use basic "office skills" like keyboarding, customer service, problem-solving, etc. | |
