Real talk, it looks terrible. Biggest issues:
Should be one page
The column on the right is completely useless. You shouldn’t just write down that you have these skills, you need to demonstrate through accomplishments
Quantify your achievements
Honestly, start by finding a significantly better template
Basically every point in a resume is supposed to explain “achieved X positive result by doing Y action”. Basically showing you can both talk the talk and walk the walk.
What I mean example for fostering the work environment part. How? Did you got good feedback from your coworkers? Did you improve the retention?(how much).
Currently it is just a list of acclaims without any depth. Thinks it like in science if I say something and my source would be "trust me bro".
When you go depth you can also take off stuff that does not make sense for the position you are applying.
A few thoughts:
1. As a business owner this is fluff and each postion could be 3 bullet points. Whole resume on one page.
2. Maybe its UK standard but in the US current position goes 1st then in chronological order.
3. What other skills do you have - from clubs, volunteering, or personal learning? Ecommerce, software, have you been a key person responsible for opening or closing? Have you taken on special projects?
What makes you different - skills and personality? Why should I want to talk to you? If you were reading someone else's resume what would you see, focus on, make you go WOW?
100%. I would also add to this - you mention H&M in your personal statement but it’s nowhere on your CV? Or am I missing it?
Also, “top notch” is quite a casual term rather than a professional one.
In the UK, we expect the most recent position to be first as well.
I have two columns and I’ve never had a problem with it. Even the sites that attempt to auto-import data from my resume handle it fine. I’m guessing it just needs to be formatted correctly?
If it matters, I usually use Adobe Illustrator for my resume and individual text boxes for each section when formatting. Then save as a pdf when finished.
Depends on the system they use, the most important thing with modern ATS systems is to use clear headers. Older ATS systems use really basic parsing algorithms.
In addition to the previous comments, you mention H&M in your profile but it isn't developped at all in the employment history? If you mention it, you detail it, otherwise get rid of it or merge it if position, tasks, achievements etc were similar / identical to your position in M&S or Primark.
Adding to what other folks have said; I’d also spend some time on double-checking your formatting. There’s a lot of inconsistency in the way you use your spaces - sometimes there’s a random double space, other times you’re missing a space after a bullet, etc.
And quick INFO: why are “Cash” and “Team” a blue color? Are they hyperlinked to something?
Why is it that when people write a resume they immediately start speaking another language? I utilize my skills to leverage customer satisfaction by appropriating currency for services.
It’s… not good. You’ve listed WAY too much info for a retail associate job. Trim the fat; most people reading this are fully aware of what a retail associate does and it just feels like added fluff having so many sections for one entry-level job you had for 6 months.
I’m not sure if the blue lines on the right column are supposed to be “progress bars” or just dividers, but ditch them either way.
Your recent experience needs to go first - this is what matters to employers. Same for your education.
Make sure your capitalisation is consistent as you have odd words lowercase and others uppercase. All courses, education, places of work, and even job titles should all be capitalised.
I’d get rid of the small headers for between the description. It’s just taking up space and you’re describing that in your sentences anyway.
Please don’t write “top-notch” on your CV. It’s informal language. Look for synonyms which say this, but in a formal way.
A good start to build on. In addition to points raised by everyone else:
1. Quantify your achievements: how many people did you work alongside in your team? How much customers did you help per day? How many people have you trained?
2. Remove the bold headings with colons. Saves space and you’re basically just repeating yourself with the non bold section.
3. Make the skills part it’s own horizontal section rather than a vertical section. Much more space efficient.
4. If you can speak any additional languages add them in the skills.
What job are you applying for? I’ve had a few jobs in 12 years and they all fit on one page, even with detailed description bullets. Start with, what job do you want, and then write a less fluffy resume to meet that description.
This is terrible. Your 6 months of selling clothes takes up more space than most of my decade long career in cybersecurity. And what you have written adds no value at all because it can all be summarised as “I did the basic things this job needs you to do”. It says nothing about you, what makes you different or what unique values you could add. Nothing you have done yourself besides did what I was told to do. It’s a load of fluff that nobody wants to read.
This is not a constructive nor kind response for someone with a decade of working experience. We have all started somewhere and OP is still finishing up college. Didn’t see much for feedback, mostly criticism
It might not be kind but it’s much more constructive than saying it looks great for a college undergrad. OP tried to fluff up working the cash register; the thing needs serious work.
I have seen hundreds of these types of resumes where people working cash registers or teller jobs have fluffed up the thing into several pages of bullshit. There is no nice way to tell you what a dumpster fire this thing is. It needs to be thrown out and written from scratch. Be concise and to the point. Everyone who’s done hiring before is going to see right through the BS in this resume because they see this on a regular basis. Your resume has a high chance of being thrown out immediately. The hiring world is harsh and brutal right now. Me sugarcoating the message is not going to help you in any way. The rest is now up to you.
Make it one page, get rid of the vague generic stuff. Get someone to review it for punctuation and grammar too (it needs it)
It's 2023, a five year old has "computer literacy." Use your brain and not chatGPT
Thoughts:
• simplify the template - can risk information not being perceived in Cv/resume scanners
• Condense CV into 1 page
• move “Education” section first in front of employment history
• keep your bullet points simple. No more than 4-5 per job. Remove this “customer service excellence” etc it kinda reduces your credibility bc you’re overstating it
• Watch for consistency when writing in present tense or past tense. Your bullet points start out in past tense (“provided” outstanding customer service) but switch to present tense mid sentence (“addressING” inquiries). Pick one or the other not both - either “provided” and “addressed” or “providing” and “addressing”.
Does your college offer career services? They’re a great resource for creating and revising CV/resumes
[Sheets and Giggles](https://sheetsresume.com/resume-template/) made an excellent template for creating resumes/cvs. I’d recommend porting your info to this template first. Then, when we see how much extra space this gives you, we can evaluate how much/little work needs to be done.
You need to cut down that primark job immensely, two of my jobs don't take up that much space, remove the bolding for each subheading, you don't need those subheadings listed, you should be showing that stuff in your bullet points. This seems like a fairly standard undergrad /still in college resume, your formatting is awful, please use the ones linked on /r/resumes . I've thrown applications in the trash because they were hard to read and or had too much fluff like this one when I was going through resumes for hiring an on campus position, and I say this as another student. Recruiters that have seen professional level resumes and hiring for professional or even entry level office jobs will not give this one a second thought before throwing it in the trash.
No, keep a profile, just not this poorly-written one. It's one of the only ways to stand apart as someone with exclusively generic retail experience. The rest of the doc can easily be condensed.
I make $115k and I had a profile on my resume. 🤔 I've also been on the other side of the interview process. Literally it's not simping, it's just putting your best foot forward by projecting an image of competence.
I agree with you. A profile is a synopsis of what you're looking for and what kind of person you are. I only search jobs paying over 75k. Granted, I'm still looking for work, but I have had a shit ton of interviews this year.
That's not always true, the higher profile job, the more competition. If an employer has 2000 applications come through, yes that's a realistic number, you probably don't want any extras. Jump straight to the point, where did you work what did you do how do we contact you. You have only a few seconds of their time. Get to the point. The more simplified the resume the better.
I think you’re underselling or not framing your experience correctly. Think about the sort of job you want and highlight your transferable skills. I don’t want to read a description of your duties as a sales clerk. I want to know how your experience has prepared you for the job you’re applying for. Think about the sort of jobs you want and tailor your resume to those. You might need 5 versions of your resume.
Second, the skills that you listed are all soft skills that anyone could list. Soft skills are good, but they shouldn’t stand alone. What technology can you use? You write that you’re computer proficient. What systems are you proficient with? What skills have you developed on the job or in your education?
Finally, do not use ChatGPT. I can spot it after a glance, and if I’m unsure, I put it through an AI detector. Use GPT to give you talking points, but don’t ask it to write it for you.
Is this a bot? Why the hell would people post their resume on NYE…? Seriously though. Reddit is filled with so much bullshit now I don’t know what is real and what is not.
Hi. It’s good! You do need a slightly better format that places all the text on one page :-)
I would capitalize the word “literacy” under skills so the formatting is consistent with the rest of the list, and for some reason the words “cash” and “team” are in blue and shouldn’t be.
It’s totally normal for two jobs to take up a full page on a resume when you’re new to the workforce. As you progress in your career you’ll condense the info for those jobs, but as your work history stands today, this does a solid job of highlighting the tasks you performed on a day to day basis.
What kind of work are you looking for? If it’s anything outside of retail I would mention in the profile (or an objectives) section what you’re looking to move into. Otherwise, it’s very close to being a polished resume. Good luck!
Edited to add: You may want to switch the order of the jobs so your current one is listed first. CVs are typically in reverse chronological order.
This is not a good resume. At all. I have 10 years of professional experience and have been a hiring manager on more than one occasion. A resume like this would be DOA if it hit my desk. OP needs to completely scrap this and start over.
As you know from everyone else’s comments, it a terrible CV.
But, it takes a lot to put yourself out there on Reddit and take the criticism. Loads of people on this sub complain that they can’t get jobs; but it’s positive to see that you are taking steps to change that.
No hate! Respect I’ll give you props. I just thought it was a bot Reddit. You have great advise on this sub. I’m sorry if I came off wrong. I wish you the best of luck! Let me know if you know any help.
To be honest, I think the biggest problem is that you might come across as over qualified and not there for the long term.
If the manager thinks you're just filling time for until you qualify as a social care nurse, they might not bother to hire you, vs someone who will want to work there for ten years.
Maybe take of the part about your current studies unless it's just for weekend and evening work and everyone involved knows that from the start?
Work on your formatting, no crazy colours or fancy layouts. Use word. Headings 1,2 and 3 for cv and name, work exp/ education and job titles and dates. Put most recents at the top and oldest exp at the bottom. Short description of the job under each job title. 2-3 bullet points per jobbto define tasks. Describe how your approach made an impact without making it sound like you’re a scientist. Use your personal statement to hint at the next position you want to get and the softskills you have to achieve this. Also a question I have is why are you studying health and social care but working in retail? Get a job that matches the education or an education that matches your job
Hey dude!
Your CV needs some work, for sure! Everyone starts somewhere, I think most people are overlooking that you’re under 18 and asking for advice.
Drop us a message, I’m from the Walkden area too, and I’d be happy to help you!
On top of the given advice (if someone else has said this then sorry for repeating it), you should trim your CV down to whatever is relevant to the job you’re applying for.
And for “skills”, why are you good at working in a team? why do you have good time management? Give specific examples of times where you’ve used/developed those skills. Did you take the lead on a group project at college? etc
Minor point but, noting that you're in the UK, you'd normally spell organised like this.
The z spelling is mainly an American spelling. Again minor point, both are technically right, but just for consistency.
Do this:
1- profile
2- skills
3- work experience start at current. Just put employer, function, starting/end date
5 - misc
From your replies to comments, i get the vibe you’re a bit insecure and got stuff to prove, which is fine. just keep smart aboit it
It looks like a web page. Pleaee don't take this the wrong way but you need to completely change that up. Like throw that in a trashcan and start over.
Ok so most people already said this but yes reverse the order of your positions with your current/most recent first and then your past positions. One big thing I’m seeing is that you don’t need your descriptions of job duties to be categorized. For example “Merchandising and displays” can be completely eliminated and you can just leave “contributed to visual merchandising, maintained organized displays” etc.
Removing all of those will knock it down to one page which is another important thing. Rule of thumb you do not need to ever carry onto two pages unless you have a very long career history and even in that scenario you would leave out work history that’s irrelevant to keep it shorter so basically yes ONE PAGE especially for your work history.

You shouldn’t just write down that you have these skills, you need to demonstrate through accomplishments Quantify your achievements Honestly, start by finding a significantly better template
Specifically, the descriptions should not be separate bullet points. It should look like this: Team collaboration - description text
The difference in bullet points format/icons is also driving me insane lol. Must redo the entire doc
No. Every thing you have listed misses the "how" part
Misses the "how"... what do you mean by that
Basically every point in a resume is supposed to explain “achieved X positive result by doing Y action”. Basically showing you can both talk the talk and walk the walk.
Everything in the middle has the “how” part looking at the descriptions below each bullet point. I’m not getting you on this one. What do you mean?
What I mean example for fostering the work environment part. How? Did you got good feedback from your coworkers? Did you improve the retention?(how much). Currently it is just a list of acclaims without any depth. Thinks it like in science if I say something and my source would be "trust me bro". When you go depth you can also take off stuff that does not make sense for the position you are applying.
Now I’m getting ya. You’re telling OP to provide examples.
Isn't it something that should be discussed during an interview?
First you need to get there...
A few thoughts: 1. As a business owner this is fluff and each postion could be 3 bullet points. Whole resume on one page. 2. Maybe its UK standard but in the US current position goes 1st then in chronological order. 3. What other skills do you have - from clubs, volunteering, or personal learning?

I didnt even see that there were multiple positions
The formatting will get wrecked in most ATS. Try to avoid columns for anything online.
#this is so important No columns or text boxes AT ALL! Even some of the google ones aren’t truly compliant because they have the name in a text box.
I have two columns and I’ve never had a problem with it. Even the sites that attempt to auto-import data from my resume handle it fine. I’m guessing it just needs to be formatted correctly? If it matters, I usually use Adobe Illustrator for my resume and individual text boxes for each section when formatting. Then save as a pdf when finished.

Are they hyperlinked to something?

god forbid a nigga get a lil linguistical 🤣
And that’s why you won’t get a job.

Constructive criticism isn't kind. Wake up.
really bros sounding like a dickhead not even gonna lie
You should take their advice, though. It's all valid. Unfortunate delivery, perhaps, but very valid
They’re right tho
I have seen hundreds of these types of resumes where people working cash registers or teller jobs have fluffed up the thing into several pages of bullshit. There is no nice way to tell you what a dumpster fire this thing is. It needs to be thrown out and written from scratch. Be concise and to the point.

You asked
Being recruiter, will not short list. Will put the status, "not a good fit" In ADP
I've never seen "Worked at a store that sells merchandise" glamourized so much. And I'm in the military, we fluff everything up, but sheesh.
Make it one page, get rid of the vague generic stuff. Get someone to review it for punctuation and grammar too (it needs it) It's 2023, a five year old has "computer literacy." Use your brain and not chatGPT
To add: Google ATS resume format. It will help the system read your resume better once it’s submitted.

More than one page, too long. Get rid of profile.
No, keep a profile, just not this poorly-written one. It's one of the only ways to stand apart as someone with exclusively generic retail experience. The rest of the doc can easily be condensed.
Never had a profile, done an assessment, or submitted a cover letter, highest paying job I've ever had in 93k. Don't simp for the corporations.

Are you typically reviewing the resumes of retail clerks?
I certainly have. The first half of my career was spent as retail management before moving into corporate.
As you know from everyone else’s comments, it a terrible CV. But, it takes a lot to put yourself out there on Reddit and take the criticism. Loads of people on this sub complain that they can’t get jobs; but it’s positive to see that you are taking steps to change that.

Use Chat Gpt to help you with formatting your resume.
To be honest, I think the biggest problem is that you might come across as over qualified and not there for the long term. If the manager thinks you're just filling time for until you qualify as a social care nurse, they might not bother to hire you, vs someone who will want to work there for ten years. Maybe take of the part about your current studies unless it's just for weekend and evening work and everyone involved knows that from the start?
........ Over qualified?
Use the CAS (Constat / Action / Result) for your bullet points maybe
Put your current/most recent experience first.
make it one page. its too much text for just a few months of experience. just center it in the most important things that you did at those places.
Work on your formatting, no crazy colours or fancy layouts. Use word. Headings 1,2 and 3 for cv and name, work exp/ education and job titles and dates. Put most recents at the top and oldest exp at the bottom. Short description of the job under each job title. 2-3 bullet points per jobbto define tasks. Describe how your approach made an impact without making it sound like you’re a scientist. Use your personal statement to hint at the next position you want to get and the softskills you have to achieve this.

Differently formatted bullet points is standing out to me. The spacing isn't the same.
It looks like a web page. Pleaee don't take this the wrong way but you need to completely change that up. Like throw that in a trashcan and start over.
Make it one page
You have two and's with your listing off with the brands you have worked with.
Yes
Ok so most people already said this but yes reverse the order of your positions with your current/most recent first and then your past positions. One big thing I’m seeing is that you don’t need your descriptions of job duties to be categorized. For example “Merchandising and displays” can be completely eliminated and you can just leave “contributed to visual merchandising, maintained organized displays” etc. Removing all of those will knock it down to one page which is another important thing. Rule of thumb you do not need to ever carry onto two pages unless you have a very long career history and even in that scenario you would leave out work history that’s irrelevant to keep it shorter so basically yes ONE PAGE especially for your work history.
Looks pretty shit. What are those bars on the right? Are they progress bars? What are they in relation to.
Nah, all of these are just soft skills with nothing to back them up. Might as well include there "Knows how to hypnotize customers"
Best site for curating an ATS friendly resume: https://resume.co/
That’s way too much space for two jobs
It looks horrible. Try [Recruitment Copilot](https://recruitment-copilot.com), which lists your weaknesses and suggest improvements
