Using Counter
Why skills run on one line
Retail and service resumes are read fast, often on a phone by a store manager. One line of skills (tills, stock, languages, opening and closing) saves room for the results that get you hired: sales, ratings, shifts covered.
How to fill it
Lead each job with what you were trusted with: keys, cash, a team, a department. Add numbers where they are honest, such as average basket, customer score or hours a week. Put availability in the summary if it matters, such as weekends.
When to pick another
For a supervisory role with a long history, Ledger gives each job more room. For hospitality jobs with many short contracts, try Shift.
Words to use
The layout is half of it. For the terms recruiters search for, see the keyword lists for sales representative, customer success manager and operations manager resumes.
About Counter
What skills go on a retail resume?
Point of sale, cash handling, stock and merchandising, customer service, opening and closing, and any languages. Use the words from the job ad where they are true.
Is one page enough?
Usually, yes. Counter is tested on one and two pages, so a longer history still reads in order.
Should I include availability?
If the ad mentions shifts, a short line in the summary helps, such as available weekends and evenings.
