Writing your own Personal Assistant CV or Resume requires a different approach from the way that many professionals go about preparing their CVs. Personal Assistant careers, although having some similarities to many other commercial careers, demand a creative way of thinking and a better way of presenting your technical skills and experience in your CV, because no other role is so close to your end-user - the senior manager or company director you support.

There is a fully detailed CV example on this page and further down there is also a resume style layout.
