I have an application here to a telecommunication business. It says I can submit a resume along with it. Now I've mostly been a cashier for my whole job field and don't offer anything special. Do you think it's necessary?

I think its only necessary if you are applying for a "professional" position. Im assuming that there is a regular job application form that you have from them...

I am an employer at a somewhat "casual" place- I go for the best applicant by the personal interview- not just what is on paper, but a resume says that you are serious about finding a job- It would tell me that I am not the only employer you are talking to, and that if I want to hire you, there may be competition- Honestly..... it doesn't matter if it says anything in it or not- it just shows "effort".....
If you are looking for a more "professional" job- then yes, the resume makes all the difference in the world!

No one is going to want to hire you if you "don't offer anything special"! You need to think about what skills you have that would benefit them company, and portray that to them. Even though you have been a cashier, you can still have unique skills, like interpersonal skills, accuracy with your drawer, etc. Submit a resume!

Resumes are absolutely crucial ESPECIALLY since they asked for one. If you don't have a resume or have never written one, they are quite easy to write. If you have Word, go to "file", then, "new", "template", then, "resumes" and just follow the promptings. If you don't have word, google "resume templates".
Read the job description that you are applying for and put ANY relevant experience you may have through school or work.

Having a resume is important in most professional jobs. For one thing it shows that you have some writing skills, which is very important in most professional jobs these days.
So, yes, a resume is important.

Yes having a good resume shows that you put a little effort into things and makes you stand out over someone who doesn't

If you have an application it's not necessary. If you want to stand out or highlight job skills you have that you haven't gotten from your cashiering jobs, then you may want to include a resume.

Resumes are always a plus for an employer. It shows initiative.
You don't have anything to offer? So you can't offer skills in customer service, management, work ethics, etc?

Yes, Very necessary. I just shows professionalism and that you've taken the time and effort to find the right job.

It is necessary. It may be a little bit of work and effort, but how badly do you want to get a job there???
