Hello! Well, this is a random happenstance, I have been looking to establish my own career ever since I gratuated from Uni past autumn (28m). My experience is with the family business, my father owned, through out the years, several cafes under different franchises, I have helped him on every level, from a busboy, to a shift manager, but sadly recent economy of my country no longer allows such things, and I am looking change my work life and find a career for myself.

I entered Starbucks to economically survive covid times as a barista, and through the year have been applying to all sorts of careers that I am interested in, mainly digital marketing, marketing and HR. The thing is I almost never get any returns, not even a decline most of the time. The ones I do are often negative, even at new grad positions. I am quite confused and I wonder if it is my previous experience in the service sector hampering my prospects on low level jobs. Should I purposefully omit those experiences? Are those worth anything at all? I would welcome any tips for the situation I am in. Thanks in advance ^^

Still this gave me some insight on how to improve my CV's past experiences. u/DorianGraysPassport thanks for the reply ^^.

I did not quite understand what you meant by this. Is this how I should represent my skills in my CV? I was not a trainer, nor a manager sadly, Starbucks do not employ managers from outside, they raise their own. Which is admirable I think.

Thanks for the replies. These past years I have counted on the family business, and never developed skills for applications. Circumstances demand otherwise, so I feel like a fish out of water. I will apply the suggested details. Also another question. How much is the time spent important? For instance would 11 months of employment leave a bad impression?
