An administrative assistant should be able to adapt to a constantly shifting workload. This requires plenty of hard and soft skills that should add to your resume.
Closely review the job description for specific phrases relating to skills and requirements – these are keywords that you should look to add to your resume (e.g., “maintain accurate personnel files”). Many applications are first run through an applicant tracking system (ATS) that picks out these keywords before they ever get in front of a hiring manager. You can increase your chances of being noticed by the right people if you take the time to update your summary, work history and skills sections accordingly.
