Using white space
Making reference to the first point I made, you want your administrative resume to not appear too monotonous. One of the ways you can do this would be to include lots of white space, and make sure that you use it effectively. If your resume is loaded down with text chances are it is not going to get read. You must assume that the person looking over your resume has many other resumes to read, and as a result their time is precious. Including lots of white space makes for a much easier read and will draw attention to the important parts of your administrative resume.
Getting your administrative resume read as I've already said is a large part of the battle. Whatever type of administrative jobs you're going for you must always make sure your resume makes for an easy read. Doing simple things such as bullet points to break up large and monotonous paragraphs, using simple bullet points to not distract away from the content, and including plenty of white space are all good points to remember. These points will increase how much of your clerical resume gets read and as a result increase your exposure.
