About Me

With a structured approach I support directors and their leadership teams end to end, from the calendar out to the vendors. Trained and supervised more than 20 staff over five years as an executive assistant, and left each office running on a process rather than on memory.

Claire Devereux, Well organised and outgoing executive assistant

Claire Devereux supports directors and their leadership teams across calendars, travel and vendors, and is applying to move up to a chief-of-staff style role. An executive assistant is hired on trust before anything else, so this resume leads with the scale of what she has been handed rather than with a list of duties.

Why this resume works

  • The line under her name is a sentence about how she works, not a job title repeated, which is the one place an assistant can show personality.
  • The first role names what she was entrusted with, an office relocation and a new team of 20, because scope is the thing a director is buying.
  • A 350,000 dollar saving from vendor negotiation shows the part of the job that is commercial rather than clerical.
  • Skills are written as the labels a recruiter scans for, from meeting and event planning through to bookkeeping, each on its own line.
  • A Most Proud Of section closes the left column with a staff charity fund she started, which says something no duty list can.
