Maya Delgado, Cashier

Maya Delgado is a high school senior two years into a part-time till job at a neighbourhood grocery, with regular babysitting alongside it, and applying for a cashier role she can keep through her final school year. A first resume has to prove reliability with very little history, so this one turns the two jobs she has into evidence of exactly that and lets the school team captaincy stand as a third.

Why this resume works

  • The cashier role gives the one number a store manager wants from a till operator: a cash drawer that has balanced at every close for a year.
  • Trust is shown rather than claimed, through the opening float she was handed after four months and the families who have kept her on since the first booking.
  • Babysitting is written as a job with a schedule, an age range and a client count, not as a hobby.
  • The certifications section carries the food handler card and the first-aid certificate with their issuers and dates, the two credentials a grocery and a family each ask about.
  • An Extracurricular Activities section sets the soccer captaincy out as a role with dates and bullets, so leadership reads beside the paid work.
