If it is a department store like Wal-Mart where you do not
know which section you are working in, or one like Kohl's where the merchandise
is pretty much clothing and accessories or if it is Kohls' list any experience
you have with clothing and accessories. Did you ever volunteer to model for
someone or did you do clothing projects for 4-H.
If it is Wal-Mart, then you can list anything that would apply to any department. For instance, do you know anything about photography or computers?
You would list skills that would make you an asset to the company like good customer service skills, phone skills, any experience you have had handling money. (Even if it was volunteer work like running a snack shack for ball games at school).
Your people skills can be backed up by any experience you have working with people. For instance, were you ever a team manager or Boy Scout leader?
People do not believe that their volunteer skills can help them get a job, but when you are applying for that first job, the employer will only have those volunteer skills to go by.Don't say anything that is untrue. Being insincere will not get you the right job.

If you are not a people person, talk about how
industrious you are. Enthusiasm about doing everything you do is very
important. I want to do the job right.
Attention to detail is important.Filling out the application is a very important first step if it does not show
your claims then you won't get the job.
In conclusion, take note of these
three points:
1. What motivated you to apply for this job with this particular company? Do you like their store? Do you have friends who work there who love their employer? Are you interested in a long-term career in retail sales? What made you sit up and take notice of THIS particular job?
2. Given the position in question, what makes you think you would be good at the job?
If it is a stocking/inventory position, what qualifies you for the job? - Are you exceptionally strong? Do you take direction well and work well with others? Are you good at working independently without a supervisor looking over your shoulder? Are you available to work odd hours, if need be?
If it is a sales position, what makes you qualified? Do you deal well with people? Do you have a friendly, outgoing personality that makes you a joy to work with? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, retail environment?
3. As for skills, hobbies and interests, what makes you so much fun to be around? Do you have any interests that apply to the position you are applying for? For example, are you in Future Business Leaders of America or on the Public Speaking team? Are you involved in sports - and therefore, enjoy working in a team environment?
