Merchandiser resume questions
What do I put first on a merchandiser resume?
Put your objective, then your store or stock work. List the stores you covered and how often you visited them.
Which skills should I pick for a merchandiser resume?
Pick skills the post asks for, like reading planograms or writing visit reports. Leave out skills you can't show in a past job or school task.
Should I put my birthday or a photo on it?
Leave your birthday off. Since 2016, Republic Act 10911 has made it unlawful for employers in the Philippines to require your age or birth date while you apply. Leave the photo off too, unless the job post asks for one.
Should I send it as a PDF or a Word file?
PDF, unless the job post asks for Word. A PDF looks the same on every screen. Put your name in the file name, like Jessa-Mortel-Resume.pdf.
