An HR assistant supports the whole HR team, so your CV should show that you are organised, careful with data and polite with people. Employers want to see what you handled every week: job adverts, interview schedules, employee files, attendance and onboarding. Use short bullet points and add numbers wherever you can, such as how many files you manage or how many candidates you schedule. Keep the layout clean and the spelling perfect, because HR managers notice small mistakes quickly.
