Secretary Resume

A secretary is like a shield for the boss, protecting him from: unwanted people, from harmful (read annoying) calls, injurious (read irate) customers and the like. The secretary routes all the incoming and outgoing calls, makes appointments, keeps tabs on the schedule of the boss; in short makes his life easier. A secretary has to be quite dexterous, because he/she has to be able to answer and respond to any of the boss's whims and demands. He/she also has to face the heat from other people in case the boss cancels any meetings at the last minute. This sample resume depicts a nice way of compiling the information. Anyone can freely use this sample for his or her own application once after changing the particulars.
