A useful starting point
P&L or sales, people, and a KPI you moved. Two pages. Skip assistant-manager padding if you never held the keys. Skip this if you are applying for shop-floor assistant roles.
These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.
