How should i write the following duties in a way that looks very professional.
- answering, transfering and making calls
- writing quotes (in word)
- making spreedsheets (in excel - not that often)
- data entry (using unix) --(by just placing data entry does that count for entries no matter if you have used word or excel or any other program or should i place it separetely) umm..
- placing purchase orders
- shipping and receiving orders
** the filing, copying and mailing (should go separately right?)

Answer 1

It depends on if you are writing a chronological or functional format resume. In either case, your computer skills (ie: Word, Excel, Unix, etc) should be listed separately under a heading for skills.

In a chronological format, you simply list your jobs in chronological order beginning with the most recent. In this case, you could simply write a few sentences beginning with "Responsibilities include(d)..." under each job.

In a functional format, just bulletting what you have (with my previous suggested change) would be acceptable under the heading of "Work Experience". You would then use a separate heading of "Work History" farther down the resume to show the places that you have worked and the dates you worked there.

Answer 2

Data entry using various software programs, placing, shipping and receiving orders, general office duties such as answering the phone, filing, copying and handling mail, both interoffice and external. Designing documents in word and excel.

Answer 4

Not to be rude, but make SURE you use spell check. Resume's are supposed to be no more than 2 pages. Less is more. I work in I.T. and any time I have changed jobs, I just put that I am proficient in: Unix, Openview, etc. Not list every little thing I use them for. Good luck!

Answer 5

you want to be short and too the point...
duties include but not limited to...reception, knowledge of word and exel. shipping and receiving
you want to leave things out so you have something to talk about at the interview....right?

Answer 6

phone calls, filing, copying, and mailing are classified as general office duties...specifically name the programs that you are proficient with...and then any other tasks

Answer 7

Check your spelling first and foremost!!!!! Then put down that you were an administrative assistant!!!
