A real resume example showing how we transform C-suite support experience into proof employers trust
Being qualified isn't enough — you need to be the obvious choice.
We fix your resume with one conversation
An Executive Assistant resume must prove you can support C-suite executives with discretion and excellence. Hiring managers scan for calendar management, travel coordination, expense management, and event planning. This sample demonstrates 30+ years managing $1M in annual expense reimbursements, coordinating $8M corporate events for 750+ attendees, and increasing profits by 35%.
Most executive assistant resumes get rejected not because of ATS software, but because they don't prove you're better than the other 80 applicants. Generic bullets like "managed construction projects" don't differentiate you — quantified achievements do.
See how we transform generic statements into interview-winning proof:
Quantifies massive expense volume ($1M), shows attention to detail, and demonstrates document management expertise.
Massive scope ($8M budget, 750+ attendees), shows negotiation skills, and demonstrates international event experience.
Demonstrates business acumen, quantifies profit impact, and shows client relationship building ability.

The executive assistant resume you need depends on your career stage:
Your resume needs to prove discretion, high-level organizational skills, and executive communication ability.
Your resume needs to demonstrate strategic partnership with executives and business impact.
To write a executive assistant resume that gets interviews, focus on four key sections: a professional summary with your project value range and specialty, a skills section matching your target job postings, work experience with quantified achievements using the Problem-Solution-Result format, and relevant certifications like PMP, OSHA 30, or LEED.
