An assistant manager works with the main manager to assist them in leadership, organizational, and supervisory duties. Therefore an assistant manager needs to be a team player and work well under pressure. Put your best self forward by creating a resume that highlights your strengths as an assistant manager.

An assistant manager is tasked with a number of responsibilities, and therefore must be reliable, knowledgeable, and able to multi-task. As an assistant manager, you will be called upon to make decisions, both major and minor in the workplace. Employers will therefore want to see that you have good communication skills, people skills, and a certain level of familiarity with the workings of a business in their industry. Highlight these skills and qualifications in your resume and make them easy for a hiring manager to find.

Your resume is strong, but don't let it do the heavy lifting on its own. Partner it up with an equally well-written Assistant Manager cover letter. These underutilized samples give you a competitive edge.
