If your career could use some assistance, creating a well-organized personal assistant resume should be at the top of your to-do list. A comprehensive resume can help you be considered for top personal assistant jobs, says resume expert Kim Isaacs.

One of the most important parts of any resume is the career summary. This section falls right after your contact information and gives employers a short-and-sweet rundown of why you’re the right person for the job. Whether you structure the summary as a bulleted list or as a personal assistant resume objective, be sure to include information on your top soft skills—like that you’re well-organized, dedicated, or self-motivated.

Need more resume writing tips? This sample personal assistant resume that Isaacs created can be used to write a household personal assistant resume, a self-employed personal assistant resume, or even a high-profile personal assistant resume.
