It's very long; you should edit it.
how did you tend to need, etc, think why, when, how, who, etc
good stuff otherwiseCould someone critique my resume?
You may have done this already, but I would do it in the 2 column format so dates are on the left and easy to see:
6/2004 - 8/2006 (Then job title) Assistant Cashier
(Job Place) Ralph's, Garden City, NJ
(Job duties ) Duities included:
That makes the data easier to tease out for the person reading, because they will scan, not read. If you need to get this down to 1 page, you can bundle your bullets such as : Waited full service tables. (inplies served %26amp; took orders); and: Responsible for sales transactions, inventory, markdowns.
I would delete: assisted with keeping the floor clean!!!!!! Moer like: Resposible for general store organization and inventory. Resist listing items that would be expected anyway based upon job description (ie listing job as sales associated %26amp; duties as "sales"
Good luck!!!
