<p>I honesstly dont' know what they are loooking for lol.</p>
<p>Pretty much just any experience you have in similar positions or any evidence you have that you are capable of showing up to work and doing what you’re supposed to. They don’t need anything groundbreaking, just something to show that you’re capable.</p>
<p>I am a college student, like if my resume is too short, is that bad?</p>
<p>A resume is to explain what you have done in the past, and how those experiences show that you will do well in a future job.</p>
<p>Think about what you would have to do as a cashier.</p>
<p>And no, its probably not bad if your resume is short. I’m actually surprised they are making you submit one for this type of job.</p>
<p>Really the same way you would write any other resume. Just include past work/volunteer positions and anything you think will make your resume stand out, though try to keep it short for this kind of job.</p>
<p>Resume… for a cashier position?</p>
<p>LOL,
What college? Your in a college and have never put together a resume?</p>
<p>Take a look at sample resumes - if you have a chance, go to your school’s Career SErvices office. They may actually sit down with you and help you put one together.</p>
<p>A good resume should include
Contact information (including a “professional” email address)
Education - college attending, expected date of graduation, major/minor, GPA if it’s good, awards, extracurricular activities, maybe a list of courses taken if you need to take up space(not the intro ones, but focused upperlevel classes)
Experience - positions held, with title, company name, dates of employement, perhaps a brief description of your responsibilities. </p>
<p>Don’t put personal info (“like sunsets and long walks on the beach”), reference info (although you should compile a list of references on a separate sheet - make sure you contact them first!), high school information (unless directly relevant to the job)</p>
<p>Proofread.
Good luck!</p>
<p>^ I agree with stradmom. I applied for a bunch of summer jobs and I was offered positions at all the places where I heavily, heavily emphasized my current university, my GPA, and my on-campus leadership activities even though I have literally zero work experience. All the places where I didn’t talk about my college/gpa never even interviewed me, so I’d make sure to mention it on your resume and bring it up in the interview for good measure.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I have, but I keep getting rejected lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why do they care about your GPA in college? It’s a cashier position, what happens if you just “make it up”?</p>
<p>Honestly, in this economy they’re probably swamped with applications from high school and college-aged students. They probably aren’t meticulous about the resumes because they probably don’t have that much time on their hands and you don’t really need that much background to be a part-time cashier anyway. They will do a background check if they are seriously considering you, of course, but those don’t cover college grades because of legal constraints.</p>
<p>Things that are important include:</p>
<p>punctuality
reliability
courtesy
professionalism (smart appearance etc)
friendly and approachable</p>
<p>To be honest, for my resume for a cashier position I just put those in a little profile at the top like “I am reliable and punctual and make an effort to appear well put-together and smart” etc</p>
<p>type in “resume maker” in any search engine. There are free and low cost ones. MS Office also has resume templates, go with something named like “classical” or “traditional.” They are super easy, just fill in the blanks.</p>
<p>And always have your resume ready. Either on hand in your bookbag or saved on your computer so you can update it whenever.</p>
<p>Everyone’s already told you you can search for any resume builder. There are different styles of resumes so you’ll have to find one that works best for you and fits your experiences. Have a list of contacts ready in case they ask.</p>
<p>Put any good volunteer experiences you’ve had. Don’t put down a place if you only volunteered there once lol looks kinda bad. Only high school information you need to put down is where you went and the year you graduated. And as you get older I imagine that’ll become less important.</p>
<p>Put your GPA, put your strengths/skills, put any volunteer experience you may have.</p>
<p>Nobody expects someone applying for a cashier job to have several years of experience. It’s an incredibly low-skill, low-pay job that can be taught very quickly. What matters more is your interview. You want to come off as competent, a quick learner, a friendly person, and a patient person.</p>
