Key Holder Resume FAQ

What should a key holder position include on a resume?

A key holder has sales, customer service, and management experience. What you feature on your resume will vary based on the new jobs that you’re interested in. You should include the following core resume sections.

  1. Contact information: The top of your resume needs to feature your full name, phone or cell number, professional-sounding email address, and additional contact information like a professional website, portfolio, or social media account.
  2. Introduction: You can choose a resume summary or resume objective. This brief paragraph pitches one or two relevant skills or accomplishments to help sway a potential hiring manager to consider your application.
  3. Work timeline: A work history section drafts a detailed timeline of your previous job titles, employers, and responsibilities to help hiring managers envision your experience, qualifications and career growth.
  4. Skills: This simple section relies on an additional six to eight skills to help boost your key holding and management skills.
  5. Education: This final mandatory section allows you to include academic degrees or specialized training like leadership conferences or accounting courses to help highlight your key holding knowledge.

You can find strategic resume examples here to learn how you can tailor each of these sections.

Is a key holder the same as a manager?

A key holder is responsible and trustworthy enough to open and close a store. A store manager is always a key holder, but team leaders and select shift leads like assistant managers or senior sales associates can be granted key holder status.

Your responsibilities as a key holder may include the following additional duties:

  • Handle opening or closing operational procedures.
  • Supervise cleaning staff.
  • Oversee opening/closing staff.
  • Cash registers in/out.
  • Prepared safe and bank deposit slips.
  • Set or disable alarms.
