Which job should I list first on my resume?

This is just my own opinion, but…

Choose the 3 jobs in that group that best make you a fit for a sales representative position. Then, for each job, list as many positives as you can that relate to how well you performed in each position. Ex: Received awards for having high success rate in persuading people to attend a tour for a timeshare; or, received Employee of the Month award at Northwestern Mutual; or, exceeded the daily quota by 20%…you catch my drift.

You have it right, and your resume sounds very professional. It is ok that your jobs overlap, that shows you are hard working because you worked more than one job at a time! I was a manager of a big box store and I would have thought you were a hard worker. good luck with your job hunt.

Make sure they are in chronological order by the date you started, so you should move your Image Quest job to the end, as your last job. You also need to put in Months on the Northwestern Mutual job. You also need a job title for Urban Box Office, Sales & Promotions sounds like a dept. And your first job needs Your employer on their (not sure if you did that intentionally). Don’t worry about the overlapping, as long as they are in chronological order we can see you held more than one job at a time.

You should also explain your duties better and make them sound more professional. I listed your duties w/questions by them to help you explain your duties better. As a recruiter I would read your resume and wonder why you don’t stay anywhere for very long – so if they were temp assignments or contract jobs include that on your resume.

Customer service – what kind of Customer service did you provide
Assisting with interactive games and contests – what does this mean, how did you assist, explain more.
Performed product demonstration – what kinds of products?
Persuading customers to apply for credit cards. – not a fan of this as a job dutie, maybe consider rewording it
Handling personal information. – what personal information, how did you handle it, what was the process?
Handling thousands of dollars worth of merchandise – not a duty what did you do with the merchandise
Special Projects – what special projects, what did you do, what projects did you work on?
Assembling presentations – what did this consist of, what did you present, or did you just set it up>
General office work – what was the general office work?
Persuading people to attend a tour for a timeshare which included an upfront deposit – try rewording
Generating clients – how did you do this
Selling items in English and Spanish – what did you sell
Reaching the required daily quota – what was the daily quota
Recruiting future employees and event locations

These two duties I changed the wording as a suggestion:
Scouted different suitable locations for future promotions
General Filing

I’m not trying to pick your resume apart, but it should be written as professionally as possible highlighting your skills so your resume gets looked at by companies. Right now, I would look at your resume and have a million questions, then put you to the side and not call you. For more help w/your resume google things like "customer service resume samples" You can look at other resumes to help you reword your current resume.

You don’t need to list references available upon request, complete a reference page, and list the people and contact information, your relationship (they should only be professional, not personal references) of the people who already said you can use them, if you interview offer the reference page.

Hope you don’t feel like I crushed your resume, just trying to offer some advice so you can improve.
