Administrative assistant CV template: an example to customize
The paradox of the admin CV: everyone claims to be “organized and versatile”, so no one stands out. What sets a good application apart is the concrete: volumes handled, tools mastered, exact scope (invoicing, HR, front desk, purchasing).

3 tips to make your administrative assistant CV stand out
1. Replace “versatile” with your actual scope
“Client invoicing (200 invoices/month), HR admin for 35 employees, front desk”: that is what your versatility means. Write it — the recruiter will not guess.
2. Be honest and specific about Excel
“Excel: pivot tables, VLOOKUP, conditional formatting” is verifiable and credible. “Proficient in MS Office” no longer means anything.
3. Zero typos, zero exceptions
For a role where you will write the company's correspondence, a typo on the CV is disqualifying. Have a third party proofread it.
