A simple structure
Three useful details are enough. Replace every highlighted prompt with something true from your own work.
Administrative Assistant with [your experience] in [setting or specialty].
Skilled in [two relevant skills] and comfortable with [tool, system, or equipment].
[Action verb] a measurable result by [your number].
Scope and confidentiality. An EA summary names the seniority supported (C-suite, board), the complexity (multi-time-zone travel, board packets) and discretion. An admin summary names volume and systems.
Name breadth instead of scale: if you owned facilities, vendors, payroll support and onboarding at once, that's wider than a specialist role in a big company. Say so.
No, three to five that appear in the posting. Long tool lists read as filler; Concur, Workday, Outlook and Asana named specifically read as fit.
Replace "detail-oriented" with a fact: zero missed filings across [500+], [99%] data entry accuracy, [3] years without a scheduling conflict.
Use the exact title from the posting. Employers filter on that string, and creative variants get missed.
