Availability, honesty and learning quickly matter most. Say what hours you can work and when you can start.

Questions and answers

What should a cashier put on a CV?

The type of shop, the number of transactions, till and terminal skills, cashing up, shop floor work, training, certificates and availability.

Does a cashier need experience?

Not always. Many shops hire people with no experience. On your CV, stress honesty, availability and contact with people.

How is a cashier CV different from a shop assistant CV?

On a cashier CV, working the till and cashing up come first; on a shop assistant CV, advice and selling. Many people do both.
