A good clerical resume has to present the all the necessary information about you in the quickest and most clear way possible, and in a way that reveals your skills and experience in regards to the post you want clear.

It is also important to use a traditional typeface like bookman, Palatino, courier, times and souvenir, avoid any of the fancy typefaces. I would also advice that you use a readable size font, and remember not to mix any type faces use one type for the whole letter.

Your clerical resume should have information that reflect your skills and personality that make you suitable for this position, it should have a objectives summary which is a statement that talks about your objectives and plans if you were to get the clerical position this will give the potential employer an idea of what they stand to benefit from employing you.
