Retail Associate Resume FAQ

How do I tailor a resume to a retail sales associate position?

Most store managers look for flexible schedules, strong customer service skills and collaborative natures in their job applicants. You can tailor your retail associate resume by focusing on skills and accomplishments that match those attributes. We studied job postings to pull together a list of highly requested resume skills to help you craft your resume.

What is a good summary for a sales associate's resume?

A strong resume summary will highlight one impressive sale or retail accomplishment, such as processing the highest number of store credit card applications or earning regular positive online reviews.

We wrote two sample resume summaries of an experienced fitting room attendant. The good example uses evidence-based accomplishments to appeal to hiring managers and demonstrate the writer’s training. The poor model fails to show any retail skills or achievements.

Good sales summary statement: Experienced retail associate with over four years at a fast-paced flagship store. Oversaw a fitting room with 14 booths and was responsible for styling customers, processing go-backs and clearing rooms for new customers in under 10 minutes. During peak hours, was able to assist 35 customers an hour.

Poor sales association resume summary: Experienced retail associate looking for a new position. Available to start in three weeks. Eager to develop cashier skills.
