Answer 1

Make sure to use past tense for each item, such as "Applied", "Posted", "Filed". This applies even if you're describing your current job.

Also list any awards or special recognition for your work, even if it isn't documented.

Always include a cover letter, explaining to the prospective employer why you think you would be qualified for the job.

Answer 2

I will be more than happy to assist you with your resume.  It would be helpful if you included what type of jobs you will be applying for.  Will it be the same type of job or a job with more responsibilities?

If you do not feel like listing additional details under your question, please feel free to email me and I will construct the resume for you.

Best wishes.

Answer 3

You should stick to the same tense (i.e. Posted...Applied...Copied...Filed...Main...

If you want to elaborate you position, tell how your performed these duties after you explain what it was that you did.  I, personally, do not feel it necessary to elaborate any further than what you already have listed...I do not want to wade through a lot of verbiage when reviewing resumes for a new hiring.

What machines are you capable of operating?  If you type, what is your WPM speed?

What do you expect from this new position?  What are you looking for?

Good luck.

Did you supervise anyone?  If so, how many? In what way?
