Sales supervisor résumé
A supervisory sales résumé is judged on two numbers: how many people you were responsible for, and what the revenue did while you were. Both have to be on the page.

- People doing it
- 1,121,800

- Ten-year outlook

What this one has to carry
Beyond the ordinary sections every résumé needs. These are the things filtered on for this particular role, and they have to appear as words in the body of the document.
- Headcount supervised, and whether you hired, scheduled or disciplined
- Revenue, targets and what you did against them, as figures
- The systems — point of sale, scheduling, inventory — by name
- Whether you ran a location, a department or a shift, said explicitly
The one that costs people this job
Claiming a promotion without showing it
Internal progression is the strongest thing on most retail résumés and the most frequently hidden. List the roles separately with their own dates rather than merging them into one entry; a parser reads two dated roles at one employer as progression and one merged entry as a single job.
Where it is worth the most
Median pay divided by local prices, which is a different ordering from the sticker-salary tables and the one that decides what you keep.
| State | Median | Worth locally | Jobs |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Dakota | $56,680 | $63,980 | 3,660 |
| Rhode Island | $58,570 | $57,264 | 3,880 |
| Vermont | $55,760 | $56,921 | 2,310 |
| Washington | $60,750 | $56,770 | 27,640 |
| Colorado | $58,200 | $56,477 | 26,390 |
