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.

Example sentences to describe your work

Adapt them to your own real work; never write something you did not do.
