How do you make your resume stand out for a receptionist job?

Question

I’ve been applying for receptionist jobs & I haven’t been getting calls back.

I've got the experience they want. Some duties have been:

*Meet and greet
*Book meeting rooms & cars
*Open and distribute mail
*data entry
*ordering supplies
*photocopying, binding, scanning & filing documents
*Keeping office tidy
*invoicing and purchase orders
*catering
*assisting with events
*booking travel

I've listed this in my resume, but I get auto replies saying I don’t have enough experience.

What do they mean by that? I’ve done everything they’ve asked for on their job ad but they still say this.

Is there a way to get my resume noticed for a phone call instead of an auto reply?

Thank you in advance

Do not list all those skills/experience on your resume.

Try to make umbrella all those skills into a few short and sweet bullet points that the interviewer can look at and then from there ask you for further explanation on the topics you have experience in.

For example.

Put down

“Computer and software knowledge”

“Office skills”

Then when they ask

“What do you mean by “office skills” you can then go into depth of what things make up those skills
