How would I "sell" myself to an Aerospace and Defense for employment?

Based on no previous related work experience, but college education to bring to the job function? I have Science degrees relating to the business.
It requires minor requirements such as high school diploma and eligibility for security clearance.
It’s an administrative assistant position.

Emphasize to them your skills in these areas:

Executive Secretaries & Administrative Assistants:
Active Listening — Giving full attention to what other people are saying, taking time to understand the points being made, asking questions as appropriate, and not interrupting at inappropriate times.

Reading Comprehension — Understanding written sentences and paragraphs in work related documents.

Time Management — Managing one’s own time and the time of others.

Speaking — Talking to others to convey information effectively.

Writing — Communicating effectively in writing as appropriate for the needs of the audience.

Do American Administrative Assistants/Secretaries get sexually harassed a lot ?

I hear they do, because there is at will employment, so you can be fired on the spot for nothing and no one will take the case because it is high risk of failure and low return.

Especially in the South.

They are subjected to flirting. Not so much sexual harrassment..

How far back should my employment history go on a resume?

When I was in high school, I worked at Target for over 3 years. I feel stupid putting it on a resume now since it’s been 8 years since I starting working there. I have worked as an administrative assistant in 3 offices since then and plan on continuing working in that field. Should I still put Target down on my resume or should I take it out?

Depends on what your position at Target was. If it was just a cashiers position then i dont think it’ll be missed. Since you are continuing into the field of your current job i would recommend that you leave that space to really embellish your strengths. The only strengths i see in having Target there (assuming it was just a cashiers position) would be team player? organizational skills? meeting daily quotas? With only those forseeable strengths im sure you can incorporate those skills into your current 3 office jobs. Sometimes it’s not just putting down jobs, it’s putting down jobs that demonstrate different personal abilities you have.

and yes, unless you are a professional, you should limit data not further than 5 years. usually.
