Resume example

HR Assistant resume example

HR managers want to know how many employees you supported and which parts of HR you actually handled: recruitment, 201 files, timekeeping, benefits or employee relations. Show accuracy and volume with numbers, and name the HRIS or payroll system you used. Experience with SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG processing is worth stating outright.
