Unit 5 - Resumes

One class period we had a case study about resumes and when has the applicant gone too far in terms of lying. This got me thinking since I am graduating in 2 weeks. I just applied for a job at Guitar Center in Louisville for a post graduation job until I can find something more permanent (and honestly because my current job at home sucks). I was wondering if I should change my resume to put Hollywood Video on it. That job shows that I have experience with sales and customer service, but I don't to just be a salesman as odd as that sounds. I don't want to be one of the people on the floor trying to convince some kid's mom to buy the $1000 guitar for him if he has only been playing for a month. I want a more behind the scenes role if possible. So I don't know if I should put the Hollywood Video experience on my resume because I think they would automatically make me a guitar salesman. The job that i left on the resume was my job as concert director and marketing coordinator. I'm not sure that would make me a shoe in for an interview though.
