You're sending a resume out that tells them you are a bank teller with sales experience. Why would any office think you are interested in an office assistant position? I'm sure it will be added to the pile of 75-100 unrelated/unqualified resumes.
I can see from your many threads that you want this transition. What I don't see is any cover letter stating so, along with continuing education and/or transferable skills directly relating to how you can do this.
Let's put it this way. You're selling X. Buyer wants Y. Are you going to hand them X and hope they don't notice? Or are you going to tell them why X is a great choice and why? Start thinking like a salesperson.
why wold think I am not interested? I put all the transferable skills in the resume look!
You've got bank teller in the objective. Charlie, I'm assuming you have not been in a hiring manager position before - every posting will receive 100+ resumes, and even moreso for entry-level office staff in a metro area. You simply can't afford to offer a resume that doesn't grab your reader immediately.
People who cold-hire office personnel need people with solid clerical skills. A strong, attention-grabbing first paragraph on a cover letter is a must. The paragraph needs to hook them and keep them reading.
Didn't we just do this? First thing, which has been said before. You need to figure out what you want to do and get the training to do it. If you want to be an admin, then go to CC and get the education to be an admin. You keep trying to pretty up the resume, but the content isn't there. Get the content -- IE training and education applicable to the job -- and then worry about the format.
You have a section called "Objective"; yet you only describe yourself in it. I, personally, do not like "Objective" sections, but, if you are going to have one, then you do need to actually state what your objective is.
