The difference between EA resumes is almost always scope: how senior the executive is, how many weekly commitments you manage, how much travel and board work is involved. "Supported the CEO" says little on its own. "Managed a calendar of 25+ weekly commitments across board, investor and client meetings" tells a hiring manager exactly what you can handle.
Concur, Concur Travel, DocuSign, board portal software like Diligent, specific calendar and video platforms: name the ones you have actually used. A company running Diligent for board materials wants to know you have touched something like it, not that you are generally comfortable with computers.
"Discreet" and "trustworthy" are words every EA resume already has. Show it instead: the kind of material you handled (board documents, HR matters, deal-related correspondence) and that nothing was mishandled. A specific description of sensitive work carries more weight than any adjective describing your character.
Front desk, legal admin, general office support: plenty of strong EAs started somewhere adjacent. List that experience plainly with what you actually did (scheduling, correspondence, vendor coordination) rather than trying to make an early title sound more senior than it was. The trajectory reads as normal, not as something to justify.
One page if you have under roughly seven years of experience. Two pages becomes reasonable once you are supporting C-suite or board-level work, managing other assistants, or have enough distinct scope that cutting it would lose information a hiring manager needs.
Usually no, unless you have their permission or they are already public figures whose names appear elsewhere. Describe the role and level instead ("Executive Assistant to the CEO of a 200-person software company") along with the company name, which gives a hiring manager the same signal without a confidentiality question.
Keep the title you actually held, but write the bullets around the scope of what you did: whose calendar, how much travel, what kind of correspondence. Hiring managers are screening for that scope, not for the exact words that happened to be on your old job posting.
