As a salesperson, you have a bit of a leg up in the job hunting game. You know the power of a good pitch and the importance of an approach that is tailored to your target audience. The first step toward landing a job as a wine sales representative is applying that knowledge to the task of drafting a resume that gets results.
Your resume summary is essentially your elevator pitch, so you want to make sure that it includes your most impressive accomplishments as well as a key detail or two that will be of interest to the employer. In order to determine what details to include, you must familiarize yourself with the company and the job posting. If you’re applying to sell wine to restaurants, you might tout your food and wine pairing skills. If you would be selling California reds to boutique wine shops, you would want to highlight the year you spent working in Napa.
Have a look at our wine sales representative resume sample before you start crafting your own, and you’ll be toasting your new job in no time. Cheers!
