How can I make my resume better?
According to a lot of critiques on my resume I've submitted to resume critiquing sites, my resume is too task detailed and not accomplishment detailed. They say to list accomplishments more and tasks less. Thing is, I work in the Accounting office of a retail store and don't get very many opportunities to do anything outside my assigned tasks. Once in a while I'll help a customer with an issue regarding a charge on a card or something like that, but other than that I can't think of anything else to add to my resume.
I'm wanting to find a new career and have been sending resumes like crazy for over a year now but getting very few responses.
Here's how part of my resume reads right now:
• Count cash and coins
• Key in coupon, checks, and WIC vouchers
• Encode checks
• Research cash registers that come up long or short in cash, checks, or coupons
• Create cash and check deposits
• Balance the cash in the office
• Research transactions for reports, customers, and Asset Protection
• Filing paperwork
• Enter Cash Fund Transfers into the computer
• Resolve customer’s issues either by phone or in person
• Reimburse employees for travel expenses and supplies purchased outside the store
• Process restitution checks
Experienced with Microsoft Office including Word, Excel, and Outlook. Can type 60 WPM. Knows how to use a multi-line telephone and fax machine. Knows 10-Key. Self-starter, strong work ethic, works well with others, and learns new skills quickly.
How can I word any of these differently so that potential employers will want to contact me about an interview?

Act like an engineer for a minute. Write down everything that you do (it looks like you're already almost there), then use Word and numbers to write down everything in sequence. Use numbers and letters and form an outline of everything in order. The outline is the key to it all. At first it will be a list and then it will become an outline. The main categories will be what you use to describe what you do in your resume. It's really difficult, but once your done you will be much more organized, productive and things will just make more sense.

One of the foremost key components of success in a very job search is that the resume. The resume is that the primary promoting document that sells the merchandise, the abilities and knowledge of the work seeker. To be effective, a resume should grab the eye of the reader in 35-45 seconds, the common quantity of your time a reader spends reviewing a resume. an honest resume can extend that focus span to over a moment. A self-made resume can prompt the reader to contact the work seeker. In effect, the success of the work search revolves round the effectiveness of the primary step, the resume.

. everybody is conscious that resumes are already adorned & make you look 'extra suitable' than who you're.to any extent further could be classed as skiting. much less is extra. you return in the time of to me as experienced,friendly & athletic.perhaps merely comprise your image with your reference.good good fortune(in spite of the reality that i don't think of you would be wanting it)
