You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Changing from one work to another is a bit of an issue that we have to deal with. What I mean is that, new work and new environment mean adjustments.
To start of, there's your application to another job. You mentioned that you worked as a retail store manager and you're applying for a receptionist. I would say this is a huge leap from one work to another.
These two jobs may seem too different from one another, but they have so much in common. When you write your resume, state the things what these two jobs have in common. When you worked as a manager, you dealt and even handled people. Your previous job may not be so different at all with the one you are applying now. Receptionists are front-liners, they are the ones who deal with the customers first hand. In this case you know very well that you can handle this thing effortlessly, considering that you worked years of handling people.
Writing cover letters or curriculum vitae is not that hard in your case. You just need to state your strong points, and good qualities as an employee. Years of experience of dealing with people would land you the job you are eyeing for.
