I have to get this in tomorrow. My husband says these are run on sentences. Are they? I thought you could list as many things as needed with commas. Thanks!!!


Having over ten years of experience in administrative positions, I am well versed in the operations of the position. I am honest, reliable, and always maintain a professional attitude. I am experienced in handling general office duties including answering multi-line phones amiably and courteously, record and data management and maintenance, shipping and receiving, supply stocking, scheduling and mail processing. I am proficient in the Microsoft Office Suite, skilled in customer service, client communications, problem solving, and relationship building. I am a strong planner who readily adapts to change, works independently, exceeds expectations and is always willing to learn new things. In previous positions I was known for a “can-do” attitude and the "go-to" person with flexibility and high-quality work.

@prinmel,
I didn't pick out a single run on sentence, but Holy Cow! Break it up with an occasional period, even if your grammar is correct.

I agree with Roger. No run-on sentences. However, I spotted a mistake:

I was known for a “can-do” attitude and the "go-to" person with flexibility and high-quality work.

As written, this says I was known for . . . the "go-to" person. You need to add "being,"

I was known for a “can-do” attitude and being the "go-to" person with flexibility and high-quality work.

Maybe you could bullet a few of the job tasks. The sentences are too long for comfortable reading.

@Roberta,
And I'd change one more - I was known for MY can-do attitude and BEING the ...


I think what you wrote is fine. No run-on sentences, and you mixed up your skills and talents nicely. I had no trouble reading it.

@prinmel,
Disagree Prin with both Roger and your spouse. As Mame says it's fine

Just for fun though I herewith offer only the most minor of crits



After more than ten years' experience in administrative positions I am well versed in your requirements. Impeccably honest, reliable, and maintaining a professional attitude I am also a veteran of general office duties: Amiable and courteous oversight of multi-line phones; efficient record and data management and maintenance; punctual shipping and receiving; prudent supply stocking; expedient scheduling and mail processing.

I am proficient in the Microsoft Office Suite and skilled in customer service like client communications and problem solving, especially gifted in relationship building. I am a strong planner who readily adapts to change, works independently, exceeds expectations and is always willing to learn new and better ways. I'm known for a “can-do” attitude, the "go-to" person demonstrating flexibility and delivering quality results.


Mel, it's only a quickie and doubtless you can improve it greatly, eg choose better adjectives, but as I said your original is okay
