How do you describe data entry on a resume?

We recommend including how long you've worked in data entry, your focus, a core achievement, and core skill. For example, "Highly accurate data entry clerk with five years experience, seeking a position with Media Level Marketing. 10-Key Typing Speed of 15,000 KPH with zero errors."

Next, you're going to want to elaborate on the specific experience working in data entry. Similar to the profile summary, you'll want to convey your experience using real-world examples and achievements, as well as quantifiable measurements of success.

For example, "Entered all customer orders and shipping/tracking records with over 99% accuracy. Received frequent commendations from CEO/company owner."
