Resume Objectives for Retail Positions
When applying to retail positions, it's important to keep in mind that your potential job will rely heavily on your ability to sell a product, as well your ability to interact successfully with all types of people. Even if you are applying for a standard "after school" job at a local clothing store, your resume objective should still emphasize your skills in these areas, so you look as professional as possible. Remember that the employer wants to know that your professionalism and skills will help the company succeed.
