marlon Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Thought I might as well post in here. I also just noticed I wrote none of that sort of stuff. I just put duties etc.ESPRIT LTD. Fashion boutique & clothing retailer based on Regent Street. Duties: Store front & Visual maintenance/Customer Service/Finance Office Assistance/VIP Clientele Assistance/Stock take and checking.Key Skills· Flexible and adaptable· Good communication skills, with ability to liaise with all types of people· Awareness of current styles and fashion demands· Able to work independently, as well as part of a team· Competent on software & hardware aspects of computers.LOL Thats a copy and paste of a couple sections from my "retail cv". At the end of the day you just gotta bullshit and you'll get it. Retail is 99% appearance. If they like you/you come across well in the interview, you'll get the job.

marlon Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 And yeah BC is right about bullet points. Try not to make it an "informal cv". Make everything structured and to the point. Its not fun going through hundreds of cvs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
