What Employers Look For In A Great Legal Secretary Resume
If you want your resume to stand out and stick in the mind of your prospective employer, you want to be sure your resume suits the specific legal secretary job requirements and duties you’re applying for.
Use the keywords from the unique job advertisement. If an advertisement has used specific terminology or ‘buzzwords’, try to incorporate them into your resume as much as you can. Employers looking for a legal secretary in Melbourne, Sydney, or Brisbane will often use words such as;
• Legal documents
• Drafting
• Proofreading
• Secretarial
• Data entry
A strong summary goes a long way.
You should include a 2-3 sentence summary at the top of your resume. If done correctly, this will grab the recruiter’s attention and encourage them to read the rest of your resume carefully. Your summary should include;• Your primary duties and responsibilities
• Relevant skills and qualifications
• What you can offer the company
Highlight your relevant experience or qualifications.
Legal secretaries typically don’t need specific training or certifications for the role, but relevant experience will definitely give you a competitive edge. If you have experience in the legal industry or qualifications in administration or business management, make sure to include them in your resume.Keep it short.
Your resume shouldn’t be any longer than two pages at the most. Many employers will disregard lengthy resumes without even reading them, so try to keep it short and sweet.4 Interview Questions You Might Hear In Your Interview
