What do retail and service employers look for?

Use the measures your employer tracked: satisfaction scores, calls per day, first-contact resolution, sales per hour, register accuracy.
Show that you were trusted with more over time, for example opening the store, training new hires or handling complaints.
Keep it to one page. Hiring managers for these roles read fast and often hire many people at once.
