Hello all,

My wife is looking for a new job. She's currently in admin for a small business, so does eveything from invoicing, suppliers, customer service, fleet management... She's looking to do similar and also possibly a PA type role, which I think she'd be good at, she's very organised and it seems like it's not a million miles from what she does now - dealing with a myriad of different day-to-day issues, but with only one main stakeholder rather than a dozen different ones.

Would anyone mind having a look at her CV please? A lot of the CV advice sites seem to be all about boosting your career, but what she's looking for is something she can do and do well, with no real desire to move up the ladder.

I know "show your ambition" crops up everywhere but surely the corporate ladder isn't for everyone? What's wrong with "do a good job, improve things where I can, come back and do the same tomorrow"?

What's the best way to say that in a CV? Don't want her getting a bking in 6 months for not being on the management scheme, but also don't want her put in the pile with the people that just want to rock up, do the minimum they can get away with and fk off home no later than 5:01

Happy to give it the once over too if that would help.
