What's the best way to write up administrative experience on a resume that would be eye catching?

I need to bring in the monies...  

Bottom line, laid off, looking for work, need to say something more than "system admin for Jira, etc".  I'm no good at selling myself.

The good news is you're in a high demand space.  Talented Atlassian product administrators are extremely valuable - so feel good about the skills you have.

For Jira, I would say key words like - Jira System administration, including project management, workflow changes, customization and system maintenance, including upgrades.

If you have projects completed inside of Jira you're feeling confident about - shed some slight insights to those.  For example - created a custom project to handle incident management including workflows, notifications and escalations to change control boards.
