What did you do that really stands out while at Zion Market? Did you overcome an unusual problem for a customer? Give an example or two of what you can do for the prospective employer.
The ending is good, but the beginning needs a little work.
The layout is fine but you need to put the experience on the top. And when you speak of quick learner, multi-task, don’t include it in the resume unless it describes a situation at a job if not, put it in the cover letter, for example: My work experience at ABC Inc, provided me with valuable experience in learning to manage several tasks at one time, and still provide excellent customer service.
And you need to improve the vocabulary and make it a little more clear. For example: instead of face to face, say customer interaction, and don’t say answering customers, say assisting customers. Be specific, what did you do as a volunteer? How many were in the church group you led? Work on it a little, and it’ll be great.
First you need to better detail your objective; example: my goal is to obtain a position as a bank teller so that i may better advance in my career as a head person working in the US treasury dept handling money.
another thing education come first, than job experience, which includes the details of the work you dealt with while holding that position then you add your certifications and skills that you think will qualify or look good on your resume and dont forget at least 3 excellent reference’s.okkkkk
Excellent! Good luck.
Instead of “Experience” at the top, place relevant skills. Employers don’t need to know in your resume you are a quick learner or have leadership qualities. These can be emphasized in a cover letter and/or an interview.
