Administrative Assistant resume keywords and fixes
Administrative Assistant resumes often undersell the actual work: calendar control, records, communication, vendors, travel, documents, and office systems. The resume needs to make that coordination visible.
ATS keywords
Terms a Administrative Assistant resume should consider
Do not force keywords you cannot honestly support. Use the exact terms when they describe real experience, tools, environments, or responsibilities you actually have.
Common mistakes
What usually keeps this resume from ranking
- Using broad phrases like "office tasks" instead of naming the systems and workflows you owned.
- Not showing who you supported, how many calendars you managed, or what types of documents you handled.
- Leaving out confidentiality, accuracy, and coordination under deadlines.
