Hello all, I am looking for some resume advice. I have a Training coordinator position (5 years) and I would like to apply for an internal and remote position as an admin/coordinator. I do have many years of executive assistant experience, but it was a long time ago so I am wondering how to incorporate this into my resume without using years? I still use this experience in my day to day to keep organized and productive. Thank you!

    You might benefit from what's called a functional resume, versus the standard reverse-chronological resume. See articles like this one: How to Write a Functional Resume [4 Free Templates Included] (novoresume.com). In the interest of not putting all your eggs in one basket, this internal job, make sure you have a corresponding (not verbatim copy though) of your new resume on LinkedIn because that's the first place Recruiters like me look for good candidates. In terms of job-searching outside your company, try to focus on jobs which are in the same or related industries as the one you're in. The more parallels to your background, the better. Good luck!

    You can list your earlier experience under a heading of "PREVIOUS EXPRIENCE" - and don't put any dates. List it last on the resume.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.
