Tips for getting a retail job
Getting a retail job
Here are some tips for landing a retailing job:Focus on financially healthy chains. Pursue job opportunities at supermarket chains and discounters that have benefited from shoppers who are buying only the necessities.
Look for jobs where you regularly shop and that you're passionate about. That knowledge of the products will come through in interviews.
Meet the managers: Don't just drop off your résumé, but try to meet the store managers to stand out from the crowd of applications.
Be flexible. Working in retail can mean grueling work schedules, particularly when it comes to the holiday season. Be open to working any shift.
Play up your experience in customer service. Emphasize your experience, even if it's an unrelated field such as banking or hospitality.
