Retail sales consultant CV: a sample, tailored to the job
For shop-floor roles, experience is often only "preferred". What counts is a CV that shows you know customers, the till and shift work, plus whatever this particular shop is after: a language, product knowledge or sales results.
What the job ads keep asking for
- Customer service to the company's standard.
- Explaining products in detail and helping customers choose.
- Displaying products to merchandising rules, price tags.
- Working the till: cash, card, instalments.
- Basic MS Word and Excel.
- Shift work, often including 10:00–22:00 shifts.
- English, often, in brand stores.

The CV almost everyone sends

What changed: English is in the headline because it's the vacancy's main requirement. The electronics store shrank to one line: it adds little for a jewellery brand.

Before you hit send
- You can write one without experience: volunteering, summer jobs, helping in a family business. Many vacancies list experience as "preferred", not required.
- Be exact about languages: "English B2" or "serve tourists in English" beats "knowledge of languages".
- If the vacancy asks you to send your CV with a set email subject (say, "Consultant, Tbilisi"), do it: some shops ignore CVs sent under any other subject.
