Writing your own CV or Resume requires a different approach from the way that many professionals go about preparing their CVs. Retail careers, although having some similarities to many other commercial careers, demand a different way of thinking and a better way of presenting your technical skills and experience in your retail management CV, because no other role is so close to your end-user - the retail customer.
