      Experienced

      "Handling sales transactions was a large part of my last role in a fashion retail store. Every day included cash transactions and settling the till at the end of the shift to make sure all purchases were accounted for. Many times, my manager relied on me to transfer the funds to the bank or pick up deposit slips for the store."
