Accounting Assistant Resume Sample - Download for Free

In this article on ResumeGets, we're going to make an accounting assistant CV template that can be used for an accounting job application with ready examples.

Now without further ado, let's start making the resume.

First, let's go to the headline, which should include your profile at the top of the page, and let'senter your name and surname. Under the name, enter some personal information:

• The city and state
• Email address
• Phone number
• And LinkedIn account

It's important to include a physical address to inform the reader if you live close by and, in some cases, if they need to fly you in or not, as follows.

Example

Now let's cover the structure of the resume, which consists of the following main sections:

• Education
• Skills
• Experience
• And interests

Education

Right now, we can start adding the educational background, like the university name, the degree, the city, the state, and the time spent in college. After that, we need to add some subcategories and list information on relevant course work like relevant coursework, extracurricular activities, dean's list, honors, or GPA.

Example

Skills

That brings us to the skills section. Before you include keywords, research shows that applicants only had 51 relevant keywords in their resumes.

Now to know what kind of keywords you should be looking at, we would advise you that you copy the job description, go to the free word cloud generator, paste it right in there, and click on generate cloud. Now match these keywords with your qualifications and categorize them.

Example

Experience

Now that brings us to the experience section, also referred to as the working or professional experience section. Let's say you have some experience as an accounting assistant at an entry-level job. You need to insert the corporate's name and the job title as in the sample below.

Example

In the example above:

• We structured the data into sentences to reveal the problem, action, and results of experiences, that way; you bring impact and purpose to your resume.
• The same goes for using action verbs at the beginning of each sentence, like checked, analyzed, and managed.
• Also, we quantified the experiences. Measurable metrics illustrate someone's value and improve your chances of getting that interview. Research shows that 36% out of around 125,000 resumes had zero instances of metrics.

Interests

Let's move on to the interest section. Although this section is not required, we would advise you to include it in your resume because it takes just a couple of words to show the human side behind the resume. Now that doesn't mean you should add some fluffy buzzwords and clichés like 51% of the resumes, but try to grab the reader's attention. See the sample below.
