Expected length of resume
When you are applying for administrative jobs chances are your field is going to have some standards that it abides by. These standards are also going to come into play when it comes to your administrative resume. The length of your resume must follow whatever the industry standard is. So I would advise you to do a little bit of research to see what the expected length is, and then go with that. Others who do not follow this standard will hurt their chances at a possible interview, but you will not be one of them.
All in all in order to get your administrative resume looked upon favorably, you must do those things that are going to be considered favorable to the employer. Many of these things will include anything that will make for a quick and easy read, and will not bore the employer. Making sure you keep with a standard length, using hyphens and dashes consistently, and making sure that you properly align dates and past job titles in an easy to understand format will all get your resume looked upon favorably. Following these guidelines your secretary resume will definitely be one that gets a second look.
