Personal Assistant Resume Example
A founder hires a personal assistant for a calm diary, early warnings and discretion. This example gives each a number and keeps private details out of the page.

Evergreen has no photo and a deep band of color across the top.
Why this example works
- 15 to 20 meetings a week across three time zones show the scale of the diary.
- No double bookings this year is a plain result that the founder can check.
- One-page briefs for every client meeting and a daily list of ten decisions show how the writer protects the founder's time.
- Household tasks and events show range without exposing private details.
How to write your own personal assistant resume
- Give meetings a week and any time zone spread, since both show how demanding the diary is.
- State travel volume and your itinerary habit, such as sending every itinerary two days before departure.
- Describe how you handle the inbox without sharing content, for example flagging the ten messages that need a decision.
- Mention briefs and event planning with numbers, such as the attendees at a team day and a budget kept.
- Show how you handle personal and household tasks in general terms, such as a shared list of renewals and appointments.
- Include a note on confidentiality training or the way you control access to files.
Skills worth including

Common questions
Which duties set a founder's assistant apart from a corporate executive assistant?
Show the personal side, such as household tasks and discretion, next to business support. A founder's assistant covers more of a life than a corporate role does.
How do I show discretion without detail?
Mention confidentiality training and the types of files you handle, never the content. Controls such as restricted folders show discretion in a way adjectives cannot.
What if my employer is a small business?
Use the owner's workload and your results, such as hours of work you have taken off the owner each week. A small business values a specific saving more than a big title.
Should I give my salary or hours?
No. Say whether you work flexible hours if the advert asks, and keep pay for the interview stage.
