Very thorough in regards to this particular job. You may actually want to condense it a bit- you don't want to lose the readers interest. Are you including other positions on your resume?

I actually do resume edits very frequently. Feel free to email it to me (janiekatt@yahoo.com) if you want more specific edit recommendations.

Good luck!

You have all the right elements, but just need to edit a few things. First of all, "executive" twice stated in your objective is redundant. Also, there's a word missing: skills.

"To obtain a position as an Executive Assistant utilizing my personnel support (or communication?), project management, and comprehensive computer skills." I threw "comprehensive" in there as an example of how to state your level of skill concisely. Maybe your skills are extensive?

As for your list of duties you performed at Lamaries, always state these in the past tense, unless you are currently working there (which needs to be stated by date under or to the side of Lamaries). And always state the duty in the form of a verb.

Provided support to CEO (what sort of support...be specific)

Was responsible for company-wide communications

Prepared and managed CEO's travel itineraries...

etc.

Be specific about your duties and accomplishments. JMelvin has some excellent suggestions on how to do this.

One last suggestion. Whatever company you are applying to, find out a little bit about it and adjust your resumé to highlight those skills you have that would be the best fit for the new company. For instance, if the new job puts a premium on being the front-line interface with visiting clients, you should put "Met and greeted high-level clients while extending excellent customer service," somewhere at the top of your list. If computer skills are critical to the smooth functioning of being an exec. asst. at the new job, put that at the top and be specific about which programs you are adept at.

One last thing: check, double-check and TRIPLE check your spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. If you're going for EA position, excellent communication (both verbal and written) are essential. One mistake on a resumé could cost you the job. Don't rely on spell-grammar check. Have a trusted friend colleague check for you.

Your resumé needs only a few tweaks here and there, otherwise it's good! You have a lot to offer a company. Good luck!

Doesnt say what software skills you have, how fast you can type, can you take dictation? what office machines you can operate? Be sure to have dates, correct spelling. Expand on the assist in admin duties/projects (like what) You only assist in typing memos, can you draft and type one yourself. You duties sound like something a low level admin could do. Be sure to provide examples or expand the duties whenever possible.

you have a solid resume, however, you need to add #'s and $'s to make it stand out.

Old:

- responsible for company-wide communications

New:

- managed organizational communication for over 100 employees.

Old:

- prepare and manage CEO's travel both domestic and international

New:

- CEO travel coordinator managing over 50 business trips involving air travel, hotel, & rental car arrangements saving the organization $15,000 over a 3-year period.

Get the idea? Add action verbs that "show" how you can help the organization meet their goals.

IT IS GOOD

but in your "objective" you used executive twice adn it just sounds repetive ( i think you should find another word to similiar to executive )

hope you get the job:-)

It needs to be a little more in a format; you can either google a template or you can get them off of your MS office. I think you have a lot of the points but it isn't laid out in a professional way.

You should defiantly send it to the person who offered so she can at least give you a sample.

Also, if you want you can send it to my email address that is posted on my profile for yahoo just make sure you put boldly in the subject line that says....YAHOO ANSWERS RESUME. Good idea to ask others on here to critique. Everyone needs help with their resume throughout life but usually they don't ask so good job.

Looks good to me! Too bad I can't hire an assistant! Good luck!

WOW...want to move to Iowa? =) I have nothing to comment on, this is excellent. You have definitely sold yourself to your potential employer! Congratulations!

it looks good...

it just needs a little organizing.. you're kinda all over the place.

put customer service related stuff together.. like, answer phones, meet and greet together..

then put paper pushing info together.. like mail, typing memos...

and clarify organize charity events.. like what did you do to organize it?....

and Manage CEO's mutiple households (what?...)
