Can I list Online Selling as a Job Skill on my Resume?

November 16th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I am a college student close to graduating and have done some internships and part-time work but don’t have much experience.

I was wondering if I can list online selling on eBay and Amazon as a skill or part-time job for my resume? I’ve earned some good money and it has helped me pay off tutition fees.

Does it count with employers?

And if you decide to list it, you’ll want to cite some statistics to show its validity: number of sales, your overall rating, maybe the total dollars sold.

    well it shows you are capable of online sales, marketing and advertising. capabilities are what employers look for. i would put it on. however when you get more experience and have more jobs to list i would take it off your resume.

    Sure and put in $ amounts, employers like numbers in resumes. For example, sold $1000 monthly average in online sales of electronics.

    Certainly! In fact, you should explain it exactly as you stated your question – Earned Online Income To Assist In Paying Tuition Fees. This should be a plus in any interview; it shows initiative, industry and effort.

    Find a better term than online selling. Try "Internet Marketing" for example.

    Absolutely!! On-line selling can be listed as a part time job and emphasizes your abilities and proficiency with computers and E-Commerce. List it in the Work Experience section and then in the skills section of your resume. During the interview process, highlight on your selling abilites as well as the technical parts of it. It never hurts to fill your resume with "real" skills such as the ones you have been using.

    I listed it on my resume and I was only making $200 monthly average sales.
