Answer 2

Keep your resume short but sweet. Remember, they are seeing a bunch at a time & the one's that are brief, never over 1 page,
generally get the most favorable reactions.

Here's what I would do. And if this has been your only job, just list it with the items after that I show. They will admire your candor ..

Put down that you were an expediter for a small book distributor and you conducted book requisitions. Your job required adept customer service skills.

Answer 4

First put the companies info that you worked for, including name, address telephone number, manager's name, start date, end date, rate of pay. Then put exaclty what you did on your job, and what skills you got out of it, including customer service, mathmatical skills, stuff like that, relate what you did to a certain skill you learned. Then put the reason you left and then go on to the next job if you have another emloyer to put on that.
