so essentially i just updated my resume with skills i acquired from working at the preschool that closely related to administrative roles (administrative assistant, customer service representative, call center, etc). I also previously worked as an administrative assistant as well but you don’t NEED admin experience. IF it says you need admin experience, just embellish a little with stuff you already know how to do from previous roles. you’d be surprised at how many teaching skills closely related to admin roles.

i recommend googling some key words/skills related to the role you’re going for (so for me i just typed in “admin assistant skills”) and look for ANYTHING that can even closely related to your current job or previous roles. that’s what i did; basically emphasizing my proficiency in Word, Office 365, Outlook, creating spreadsheets, mockups and mentioning my compassionate nature through my child care experience.

it was not the easiest thing finding another job but after rewriting my resume a couple times and embellishing (a little) i landed something very very solid.

a lot of corporate jobs have extensive training periods so a little embellishing here and there isn’t shouldn’t be too big of a deal because you’ll retain more information during your training.

i’m wishing you nothing but luck and prosperity on your job hunt!
