What should I say for my work experience at Circuit City on my resume?

Question

The best response gets an easy 10 points. I'm looking into a new job at Best Buy, what should I list under Circuit City on my resume.

I already have bulleted:

• Provided exceptional customer service in a fast-paced sales environment.

My resume is only half full and since Circuit City and Best Buy are similar I would like to list impressive statements under work experience at Circuit City.

*I was a sales associate.

How long is a peice of string? When you resume contains everything useful about you, then it is finished. It doesn't have to be longer. Mine is very long, because I have had many different positions over the years. A person with 3 or 4 jobs might have a resume that is much better than mine.

Ok, when describing a job, just be no nonsense and accurate. If you are evaluating yourself, then boasting makes you sound like a complete tool.

Put it more in terms of your responsibility. The job title and what you did is not very helpful. Customer service might mean you answer the phone and direct people to other departments. I need to know what your responsibilities were.

Example.

Responsibilities included
- Providing assistant and advice to prospective customers
- Processing sales
- Providing after sales service to customers
- Openning and closing the store

You can fill in your resume by talking about your personal characteristics (eg, being prepared to try and do something yourself, but willing to ask for help when needed...this is what you are doing here at answers.yahoo.com). Customer focused, attention to detail, like to help people. Obtain job satisfaction from helping customers make the right choice of product (all good for sales jobs...but be honest, talk about your real nature)

Also talk about your future plans. If you are going to university studying business or this sort of job is your future, you can talk about how you want to walk in a customer, sales focused positions. etc etc

Good luck

Answer 3

Mention your sales figures (if you know them) and any accomplishments you may have received.

Were you the Employee of the Month?
Were you Top Salesperson for X period?
Did you do any purchasing/stocking/restocking?
Did you manage at any point?

Basically, expand on your Circuit City work experience as much as possible.

Answer 4

"Sales associate. Paid particular attention to customer satisfaction ..." and give an example or two if you have such, and if you have a commendation from management, mention that too.
