Hmm, I’m in trouble then, because i hated these jobs with a passion because someone else got them for me. I didn’t walk in there and get the jobs myself. Someone else talked them into it. I never talk, I just do my job and that’s it. I have no idea how to talk to a customer. I wish I could just use sign language. The worst part is that I have no memory of how I did those jobs. I am just not a enthusiastic person. I’ve always been quiet and never made a sound. Guess I’m doomed.
Oh, one other thing. What if I didn’t have a resume at all and I was looking for my first job? What would employer go by anyway? Plus I’m blind and can’t see what I’m doing thing, thats why I quit those other jobs, because i was faking my way through everything and couldn’t take it. (preasure.)

Not so good…
Instead of laundry-listing your duties at these places, phrase them in a way to showcase your *skills*. Why would an employer care that you made salads and put dressing on sandwiches at McDonald’s?
You need to use engaging active verbs like to say things like "maintained high standards of cleanliness in the restrooms", "Assisted customers with attentive service", "Managed and coordinated the fitting rooms". Impress them with your skills – make them want to hire you because you would be a good candidate for the job! What’s important isn’t necessarily what you did, but how you did it, what you learned from it, and why having you do it made it better.
Also…spell & grammar check. "allot" is supposed to be "a lot". Typos show that you are not detail oriented, and that you’re sloppy. You need to show that you are serious about the job, and will work hard once you get it.
It’s hard to tell here, but formatting is also important. Make sure your resume is easy to read, use bulleted lists, and don’t add any extra frills that distract from the actual content of your resume.
Good luck!
