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.
