There is a profound difference between writing a resume that will “pass” and one that will “wow”. Not to mention, the latter is more successful.
It is not stylish fonts and rainbow colors that make a resume good.
It is the way information is presented in it that does – especially at the entry level.
When you are a good choice for a grocery cashier position (and you know it), make a special effort to let the prospective employer know as well.
Placing information in your resume, in a way that is concise, precise, and usable for the employer, is the best way forward.
Lack of experience is not your inability to do things. It just shows that you have not had the benefit of working in a real-time environment.
Here is an example of a resume that shows that experience isn’t everything:
