Does your resume act like your right hand, or do you wish you could rely on it a bit more? To be considered for top assistant manager jobs, you’ll need a comprehensive assistant manager resume that covers your skills, work history, and education—all on one page.

Where do you start? With a compelling professional summary that gives employers a brief overview of who you are, what you’ve accomplished, and how you can help their business succeed. Employers prefer a career summary over an assistant manager resume objective, but both help to introduce you and what makes you unique.

Either below the summary or after your professional experience, list all of the most important assistant manager resume skills that you bring to your new job. The skills section is also a great place to add assistant manager resume keywords, but employers will want to see them in the professional experience section as well. How do you find what words to use? Read through the job ad carefully, noting what specific proficiencies, certifications, and software programs it mentions. Then, mirror the job ad’s phrasing in your resume.
