Have you just recently graduated or are a looking for a graduate admin role? Then you should ensure that your graduate admin CV / resume is well presented and clearly shows that you have all the skills and qualities an employer is looking for.
What should your graduate Admin CV / resume contain?
One of the most important sections of your CV / resume is the personal profile. This should give a brief description (3 or 4 sentences) of you both as a professional and as person. It is recommended that your personal profile is written in the third person.
You should make sure that you include the skills and qualities required for an admin role in your personal profile and other relevant sections such as employment summary and duties. Give good examples of:
- your organisational skills
- your communication skills (both written and verbal)
- your ability to prioritise your workload
- knowledge of office routines and equipment
Remember that as a graduate with limited work experience a prospective employer is more than likely looking for potential and educational ability. You should therefore highlight your academic qualifications, all achievements you may have gained and any work experience that you do possess.
Read our hobbies and interests page to see how important they can be to a potential employer. If you are a recent graduate then this example of a graduate admin CV/resume can provide you with ideas for your own CV.
