5 Cashier Resume Examples That Work In 2021

Why this resume works

• Even if you don't have years and years of experience as a cashier, that's okay! Your resume should reflect any and all work experience you do have so far in your career.
  • Most experience can be made relevant to being a cashier. Have you worked with people before? Then that is highly relevant to a role as a cashier!
• Your cashier resume should be no more than one page. Only when you have 10+ years of experience should your resume begin to stretch to two pages.
• Whenever you can, try to quantify the impact of your past roles. Numbers stand out on your resume and quickly demonstrate that you deserve an interview.
  
  • Did you exceed sales targets? By how much?
  • Did you have great customer satisfaction scores?

Why this resume works

• A resume objective (the 2 sentences below the name on this resume) is by no means required on your cashier customer service resume. In fact, you're likely better off not including one. There are a few exceptions to this rule:
  • If you're undergoing a career change, you should include a resume objective.
  • If you can tailor your objective to the job you're applying to, then you should do so.
• Successful cashiers need to have a commitment to customer service. Try to include how you've demonstrated strong customer skills in your past roles. These can be interactions you've had on the phone, in person, or even over the internet.

Why this resume works

• You should do everything possible to adapt your resume for each grocery store cashier position you apply to. One opportunity to do this is via your resume skills section.
  • For example, if the cashier position you're applying to mentions multiple times that they want someone who is detail oriented then be sure to include that as one of the skills on your resume.
• The education section should take up minimal space on your grocery store cashier resume, especially as you gain more experience in your career. Why? For these types of roles your past work experience is much more important than your education.

Why this resume works

• The performance of retail cashiers is typically measured against certain goals. These can be sales targets, number of emails collected, signups for a loyalty program etc..
  • This is a great way to organically include metrics on your retail cashier resume. Including your performance against these targets in your past roles show that you know the metrics that matter to retail managers.
• The contact section of your retail cashier resume should be at the top of your resume and should not include your exact address. Including your city and state is enough for employers to gauge if you're within commuting distance. 

Why this resume works

• When you're applying for a more specialized role like a restaurant cashier position your title (right below the name on this resume) should match the title of the job you're applying to. So if the position you're applying to is "restaurant cashier" then that should be the title on your resume.
• Restaurant cashiers typically have to strike a balance between host and cashier. As such your resume should reflect that you have knowledge of what's important to restaurant managers. Namely, restaurant managers care about customer experience and average check size. Try to include bullet points on these topics on your restaurant cashier resume.
