Job descriptions on a resume--little help?

[counterjockey]

I've been working on getting a proper resume together, and I'm trying to work out how I'd describe the work I've done so far. I've been in retail for about three years, otherwise I've had a little more than a year's worth of call center work and a couple of seasonal factory positions from the summer after I graduated.

I've had this description of my c-store job on the state workforce site. I think it covers all the bases but it seems like an earful for what's considered a pretty simple job:

Operated register and provided customer service in convenience store.
Clerical duties included assisting with daily end of shift reports, taking inventory, and checking in vendor deliveries. Stocked and organized merchandise, and performed regular store cleaning and maintenance.

So what has everyone else done to describe these kinds of jobs on the resume? What's worked, and what hasn't? What would managers or HR people be looking for? I'll be checking in on this thread and I may post other descriptions for feedback. I appreciate any kind of advice you all might have.

That depends on what type of job you're looking for. In general, they're looking for skills and accomplishments that they can use in the position they have. So if you're trying to stay in retail, that would possibly include IPM scanned, awards received, and things like that. And the duties list, since they're going to be looking for the same things at other retail.

If you're trying to leave retail, then any skills or awards that are applicable to non-retail settings.
