💼 Skills That Get Admin Professionals Hired

Show these on your CV where they truthfully apply to you:

• Microsoft Office: Word, Excel and Outlook, plus Google Workspace if you’ve used it.
• Calendar and diary management: scheduling meetings, booking travel, handling reminders.
• Clear communication: writing professional emails and speaking confidently on the phone.
• Discretion: proof you can be trusted with sensitive information, such as long service or glowing references.
• Organisation and filing: digital or paper systems you’ve set up or improved.
• Typing speed and accuracy: especially valued in secretarial roles.

✍️ How to Make Your Admin CV Stand Out

• Show impact, not just duties. “Managed a diary for a team of 12 and cut scheduling clashes” beats “Responsible for scheduling.”
• Keep it spotless. Perfect spelling, tidy formatting and consistent fonts show the exact skills admin employers want.
• Mirror the job post. Use the same keywords the listing uses, where they truthfully apply to you.
• Keep it ATS-friendly. Many employers filter CVs with applicant tracking systems before a person reads them. Avoid heavy graphics, tables and unusual fonts.
• Keep it to one or two pages. Short, sharp and relevant wins.
