Work Experience

Cashier

Northgate Market

May 2024 – Present | Chicago, IL

  • Process an average of 32 customer transactions a shift with a balanced till at close, holding a 98% checkout satisfaction rating across the monthly feedback forms.
  • Suggest add-on items matched to what a customer is already buying, lifting my average basket value by 4% over the store baseline.
  • Started a monthly team check-in on the shift floor, now nine sessions in, that the store manager adopted for the evening crew as well.
  • Handle every in-store return on my register, resolving 86% of them without a supervisor call.

Organizer

Campus Entrepreneurship Fair

Aug 2025 – Sep 2025 | Hyde Park, Chicago

  • Ran the campus-wide fair that put 42 student-built business plans in front of 19 investors and startup founders over one afternoon.
  • Set up the marketing team’s workflow in Asana so three campaigns ran in parallel, and drew 21% more visitors than the previous year’s fair.
  • Kept the student pitch decks and the investor contact list confidential, releasing each only to the people who had signed for them.
  • Delegated and tracked 17 volunteer tasks, with every one closed before the doors opened.

Research Leader

Human Resources Management Study

Sep 2024 – Dec 2024 | Hyde Park, Chicago

  • Led a team of six students through a semester study of HR practices at four Chicago employers, tracing what drove their employee satisfaction scores.
  • Built the group’s findings into a visual report in MS Office and presented it to a class of 27 undergraduates.
  • Analysed the survey data to show that the employers with a working DEI programme reported 19% higher satisfaction, the finding the study was cited for.

Objective

Business administration undergraduate looking for a human resources internship at a large retailer, where the people practices I have studied, from inclusive hiring to structured onboarding, can be tried on a real workforce. Two years of shift work, a campus event and a group research study have each put me in front of a team, and I want to learn the HR side of that from a department that runs it at scale.

Mark Griffin, Human Resources Intern

Mark Griffin is a business administration undergraduate a year from graduating, applying for a human resources internship at a large retailer. An intern is hired on evidence of judgment and follow-through rather than on an HR job title, so this resume puts the objective beside the contact details where it is read first, and writes the cashier job, the campus fair and the semester study as three sets of counted results, each with a bullet that names something an HR team does every week.

Why this resume works

  • The objective names the employer type, a large retailer, and two practices from the course, inclusive hiring and structured onboarding, so it reads as a plan and not a wish.
  • The cashier role turns shift work into HR evidence: a monthly team check-in that the store manager adopted for the evening crew, and a 98% satisfaction rating from the feedback forms.
  • The campus fair is written as 42 plans, 19 investors and 17 delegated tasks with every one closed before the doors opened, with a line on keeping the pitch decks and the investor list confidential.
  • The semester study is led, not attended: a team of six, four employers and a finding, 19% higher satisfaction where a DEI programme was running, that the study was cited for.
  • The skills list is five plain lines, discretion and ethical judgment first and Asana last, and the one certification, the SHRM-CP, sits under its own heading so a recruiter searching for it finds it.
