CV Tips for Applicants With No Experience

Having no previous retail job does not mean your CV should be empty.

Focus on your Matric qualification, genuine skills and activities that demonstrate your ability to work with people.

1. Use a Strong CV Profile

Example:

I am an energetic and customer-focused Matric graduate with good communication, teamwork and organisational skills. I enjoy working with people and have a strong interest in retail, sport and fashion. I am willing to learn, comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and motivated to develop my customer service and sales skills within TFG.

Only use this wording if it accurately describes you.

2. Make Your Matric Easy to Find

For example:

Qualification: National Senior Certificate / Grade 12
School: [School Name]
Year Completed: [Year]

3. Highlight Relevant Skills

Consider genuine skills such as:

  • Customer service.
  • Communication.
  • Teamwork.
  • Sales ability.
  • Problem-solving.
  • Time management.

  • Attention to detail.
  • Computer literacy.
  • Numeracy.
  • Ability to learn quickly.

4. Mention Your Interest in Sport

For Totalsports applications, a genuine interest in sport, exercise or fitness can be relevant.

You could include participation in sports teams, fitness activities or related school activities where appropriate.

Do not invent sporting experience simply to improve your application.

  • School activities.
  • Volunteering.
  • Community projects.
  • Fundraising.
  • Sports clubs.
