There are sooooo many options for you. You can become an entry level secretary, a teller, a cashier for the christmas and thanksgiving season, a telemarketer, a clerk, a cold caller, etc.
You're options are endless.
The BAD thing about being a cashier is that you may have to stand for long hours and deal with unpleasant people and sometimes the pay is not good. Kind of like working for peanuts.
The GOOD thing about being a cashier is that you are considered by many potential employees to have experience in customer service, conflict resolution, tabulating and therefore proceed the expectations for a clerk.
And if you have been doing it for a long time some stores hire people with cashier experience as managers if they have 3 or more years experience.

Good for you for asking this question. Remember this: to become an executive at McDonalds, you must have experience as a burger flipper (at least that's the way it was when I worked there in the 1980s).

First, write your resume in your words, but use an established format (you can find one on the Net or from a resume book). Write down what you've done and what were the results (i.e., managed 25 customer orders eight hours per day, resulted in $25,000 in daily sales) or (assisted clients with difficult apparel decisions; resulted in 50% repeat clients).

Second, use your official job description to help you write your resume. For each task that is described, write down exactly what you did to meet that task. Then analyze your work behavior and reword your resume to sound more professional and appealing to a hiring manager.

Third, every job has positives to it, try to use those to your advantage and employ them into your resume. Use concret numbers, strong verbs, appropriate adjectives, and spell check more than twice.

Lastly, remember to refrain from lying on your resume. In time, your lie will be exposed and you'll be fired; and your reputation will be in question for the next job because every job asks if the prospective employer may talk to your former employer or to your references. Be honest and you will get the job.

Go to MSN, Yahoo, and the like for Career Tips and you should be able to glean more information to help you on your next job.

Try a placement service like Kelly or Express Personnel. They test you to see what you can do, help you with your resume'... They will have you working in no time. Some of the jobs are temporary but they do place many permanent positions. You will start as their employee. Then, the company that they place you with will decide whether or not they want to hire you.

Hey , I know that trying to write a really effective cover letter can be very frustrating. Recently, a friend of mine really needed some advice on how to write an effective cover letter and told me about a fantastic resource he found. In the source box, I've attached the link to the website so you can look for yourself... Good Luck!!

Apply in places outside stores in customer dpts. They pay more. I have no idea where you are, please don't tell me!!! Keep it confidential. But being a cashier, you could work @ a bank, basically that's what they are doing w/ that dumb computer. GO to a temp. serv. possibly and say you want customer serv. job. But scour the paper. Being a cashier gives you more skills than you think. Think positive!!!! PRAY!!!!! That always helps alot too.

Bar work! Or work for an agency that deals with that. No contract and great to top up the money until a real job comes about!

you can always go for jobs that require no experience. i see them in the paper all the time. the salary may be low but it's a place to start while you gain some valuable experience.

I don't know how I could help besides suggesting things you can do with your experience. If you don't want to do that anymore, go to school and study something you are interested in. You may have to work in sales while in school, but after you graduate, you can do exactly as you want.

Seriously, ask your job centre to put you in touch with a careers advisor.
