🖥 Highlight your Skills. No need to be so wordy under each job description. Instead of writing things like: "Maintaining security and telecommunications system" you can list 'Answering Phones' under your Skills section... or instead of "scheduling appointments and maintaining appointment calendar", it can just be: 'Calendar Management'.
