Executive Assistant Resume Bullet Points

Executive assistant bullets should show level of executives supported and scope (board, travel, projects). This guide gives you examples for EA roles.

What makes these bullets pass the 2026 screen (the 5-point short version)
  1. State whom you supported and at what level in the first bullet of each role: CEO, founder, board, or three VPs. This is the single fact a screener is looking for and it should never be buried.
  2. Quantify complexity: timezones coordinated, international trips booked per quarter, board meetings prepared, direct reports of the executive you supported. Complexity is how EA seniority is priced.
  3. Show discretion with a described situation — M&A, compensation, a personnel matter — and how you handled the information flow, rather than asserting that you are trustworthy.
  4. Name the systems and any board tooling: Outlook or Google Workspace, Concur, DocuSign, Notion or Confluence, Diligent or Boardvantage.
  5. Include chief-of-staff-adjacent work: agenda setting, driving follow-through on the executive's behalf, tracking priorities across their leadership team. It is what justifies a senior EA salary.
