How to write this CV
Name your till system and payment types
State which till or card terminal system you use and which payments you take: cash, card, vouchers.
Show your accuracy
The end-of-day count and handover take care. Writing that you do them builds trust.
Describe customer contact briefly
One short sentence on how you behave during returns, exchanges and complaints.
With no experience, make your willingness concrete
If you ever did till or sales work in volunteering, family business or seasonal jobs, write it. If not, mention work that needed care and order.
