Kayaking Jobs

How should I write this Career Objective for my resume?

The job is Coast Mountain Sports, it’s an outdoor specialty store that provides canoes, kayaks, outdoor clothing, camping equipment. This is what I have for my career objective/Opening statement:

Position as a Sales Associate where understanding of outdoor recreation will help benefit customers. Can demonstrate exceptional interpersonal and communication skills (greet, consult, up-sale); build positive, effective customer relationships.

The part I’m focusing on is this line:


Position as a Sales Associate where understanding of outdoor recreation will help benefit customers.”

The word recreation doesn’t seem to fit well, seeing from my description of the job, what would be a better word instead of recreation? I thought of “sports” but that’s too generalized.

Please help!

Probably better to reword it a little. Maybe something like

” to use my knowledge of and experience in outdoor recreation and activities to provide customers with accurate information and service”

I dont think the word recreation sounds strange at all, i mean, essentially… thats what it is :)

Then probably use another paragraph to outline your customer service skills, customer interaction skills, ability to build rapport with customers etc, as that is more generalised.

Hope this helps!
