Should I gump down my resume?
I just lost my job in the Mortgage Industry, and I’ve been applying to several places, but nothing is coming through in my area. I am considering taking a job at the Home Depot or Kohls just until I figure things out, and to have income of course. The thing is, when I go to apply to these places, I don’t want them to think I’m overqualified to stock shelves, because my resume shows dollar amounts and sales quotas, etc…
So my question is, if I’m applying to a part time or full time hourly retail position, that any 16 year old kid can do…should I gump down my resume?
And second, If the interviewer asks…what would be the best response to give, as to why I’m demoting my career?
I would edit your resume to reflect the skills needed for the jobs you are looking at.
If an interviewer asks why you can either lie and say that you have always dreamt of a career that involves taking back returned clothing that people have 200 times and then claim is “damaged”, OR you can be honest. If you are looking at retail jobs they expect high turnover anyway.
