Guide to Writing a Clerical Resume


A clerk is mainly considered as a worker who is accountable for performing several activities. Accounting, accounts payable, data entry and official duties are some of the crucial roles played by a clerk in his/her professional career. All these duties require proficiency in computer, good typing as well as interpersonal skills.
These skills and abilities must be clearly reflected when writing a clerical resume. Following are some more tips while writing an effective clerical resume:
·        Begin your resume which conveys your skills and the position you’ve applied for with a good and impressive objective.
·        After that you could state your key strengths and talents which prove to be valuable when working as a clerk. Also mention your competencies which match to the requirements of the applied job position.
·        After that, with short clarification about your role and responsibilities in your earlier jobs, write about your professional history. In order to be easily readable for the potential employer, write all your key responsibilities in bullet points.
·        It’s also vital that you list down your achievements in terms of certification received, special projects handled by you, awards or honor received as you can add more credibility to your resume as well as your skills by adding all this information.
·        Always use a separate section to list down your relevant and special skills. In this section, you can write down your skills such as your capability to collect and analyze data, use computer, assess decision making procedures, managing operations, accounting skills and technical skills in delivering details of communication.
·        After finishing this, you can create a section for your educational qualifications along with the year of passing, name of the university and percentage.
Finally, in order to ensure a proper flow of content and information, you must proofread your clerical resume twice.
