How do I write a retail assistant resume with no experience?

Show friendliness, reliability and basic money or organisation skills from school, volunteering, family business or any part-time work. Retail is a common first job, and many stores train new staff on tills and stock.

What to include:

• A summary: "Reliable and friendly student looking for a part-time retail assistant role on weekends."
• Availability, if flexible (evenings, weekends, holidays).
• Examples of helping people and handling money.

Example (fictional): "Helped run the school charity bake sale, serving customers and counting the cash at the end of each day."

Example (fictional): "Assisted at my family's grocery shop after school, stocking shelves and helping regular customers."

Add languages and any short customer service course. Keep it to one page. Stores often hire quickly before busy seasons, so make your contact details clear and easy to find.
