Administrative Resume


I've worked as a secretary  for a public school district for 20 years.  In all the resumes' I've seen on line, I have never seen a resume with someone working for the same company but  out of different offices such as I have. In each office I had different duties.  My problem is how to word what I've done to sound more appealing or attractive to an employer.  I have different work experiences in each office.  I have written resume's for other people and have  I have a mental block when it comes to writing my resume.  It never seems good enough to me.  I need help with this.  Can anyone offer some suggestions or maybe a really good resume writing book?  If I post my resume, would anyone be willing to critique it for me?  I need help!

That' s a really great question! You can include your various positions as sub-categories under one employment heading. Example:

Secretary, XYZ Office, 2005 to present
Briefly describe position. Highlights of contributions:
Accomplishment #1
Accomplishment #2
(Provide a list of 6-8 of your strongest accomplishments)

Secretary, ZYX Office, 2003 to 2005
(do the same as you did for your current position, making sure you focus on accomplishments.

For your earlier positions, you can include a short blurb like: "Early positions within the district included records clerk, etc"
