This question already has an answer here:
So this is what i do
I work for a home health care staffing agency I do the following bellow full time.
can you please help me as i really need to update my resume and i need to know how much i should be getting paid because im only making $15 and i feel that im being underpaid
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
Yes, you are severely underpaid. However, you also suffer from having your fingers in too many pies.
Anyone looking at that list is going to think: Jack-of-all-trades, master of none.
The fact is that in any decently organized business a different person would probably cover each of those responsibilities. Most people will think that the only way a single person can handle all of it is if at least some of those tasks are being blown out of proportion.
In your resume you have to take care to bring out the fact that you were trusted to perform all those tasks while not making it sound unrealistic that you did so.
My Workplace (20XX - Present)
My Job Title
- Hired as Payroll Administrator, and successfully performed this function for the duration of my employment (a sub-list about this part of your responsibilities, etc.)
- Assigned additional responsibilities as Office Manager (indent sub-list of responsibilities)
- Trusted as representative in a court of law alongside our attorney
- Occasionally tackled HR responsibilities by performing he following:(indent sub-list of responsibilities)
Obviously this is a very crude version of what your resume might include.
However, before you send your resume out I would seriously think about the sort of job you want to pursue in the future and include more/less information about the aspects of your job that are relevant to getting the position you're applying for.
If you simply list everything you either risk coming across as over-qualified, or projecting the image that you didn't actually do much in the way of accounting at that company you're currently with (since you had so many other things on your plate).
I see nothing wrong with Office manager
I would go with a hierarchy and list a primary duty
It shows structure and organization
I don't think you need to discuss how other responsibilities came to be
I don't see being spread too thin as a problem. Those are all good skills and demonstrate an employee that is willing to adapt. An office manager where they need those type of skills is a good fit. Getting more than $15 / hr is not a problem. Those skills are easily worth twice that.
