Resume Help
Hey ladies, I am trying to update my resume and I was hoping for your help. I need to make a list of my current duties, but I want them to sound more intriguing. Here is a list of my duties: (Let me note that I am an office manager so I literally run it all)
Process all employee payroll
Manages office
Cleans office
Stong customer service
Trains all new employees
Order office supplies and marketing material
It's my duty to keep up with all State & Federal laws and make sure we are abiding by these laws.
Data Entry
Keeps files clean and organized
***I also want to note the resume will be sent out for a marketing job with a small amount of sales. So, I want to use duties that may best apply or would be found more useful by the future employer.
TIA!
Re: Resume Help
Be more specific and try to show numbers and accomplishments as much as possible. For examples, how many employees are on the payroll? How many new employees have you trained, and in what duties?
I'd avoid discussing the soft skills (strong customer service, for example) as bullet points. I'd organize it as:
Process payroll for # employees
Manage office of # staff, including (a few specific duties involved in office managing)
Train # new employees in Y
Ensure adherence to state and federal laws pertaining to Z
