Step 1
Cover the basic components of a professional resume before you delve into specifics. Include your name, address and contact information at the top of your resume; usually in the center.
-
Step 2
Write your resume objective. For a receptionist job, it may sound like this: "I am looking for a company who will utilize my strong computer skills and build on my professional customer service background".
-
Step 3
Provide specific past job experiences that are relevant to the specific job that you are applying to. Any jobs that you worked for an extended period of time also look good on a resume.
-
Step 4
Use the qualifications section of the resume to stress skills that are relevant to receptionist jobs; people skills, computer and phone skills, and any education that is relevant. Also briefly list the computer applications you are able to use effectively.
-
Step 5
Always get a friend to do a resume review before you hand it out on a job search. A single typo can move your job resumes to the "no" pile.
