I want a job in retail, but all employers want experienced only. Any suggestions?

Do you have a place like value village or salvation army.,. Like a thrift store where people donate stuff and then sell it? And take volunteers? They’re usually run by churches.
Volunteer at one of those for a couple weeks, and voila, you have Retail experience.
Or apply to places like walmart that will hire almost anyone. Just because they PREFER experience doesn’t mean it’s a requirement. And usually even if you don’t have all the requirements you can still get in. My job now, I don’t think I even met half the requirements but as long as your enthusiastic it’s worth a try and they will sometimes take you.

I’m 23, don’t have any degree, but good high school grades. I’m wondering how I could go about getting a job with a Retail company as a trainee retail manager. I have previous retail experience, but not in a management role.

Which would be the best company to apply to, and how would I apply?

I’ve seen these schemes advertised in papers like Metro, but I would imagine that most companies would advertise them on their websites also.

I know that Lidl and Morrison’s both have really good trainee schemes, although typically they are looking to hire graduates. I would start with their websites, and if there is no information on there, then call their head offices and ask to speak to someone in HR or recruitment.

Then, in terms of other companies to try, think about what companies are likely to have such schemes: it will primarily be large chains, so all the national supermarkets, and also department stores and high-street Fashion stores. Again, just browse their websites for information.

I would assume most people with a lot of Retail experience must have started somewhere. I find that a lot of retailers won’t even give you a thought if you apply without retail experience.

Depending on how old you are &the availability you have you may have to start somewhere small &low paying. Stores like Sears &Target are constantly hiring and usually only look for a friendly face with the right availability. Being 18 or older also helps since they will be able to schedule you at any time that they please ¬ break any laws. Don’t give up. Keep trying most stores provide training anyway. Good luck.

How do retail stores protect the merchandise sitting on the outside of the store?

The only merch I ever see sitting out of Retail stores is too heavy to hoist, chained to the ground, or monitored with cameras. Other than that, I guess they rely on the honor system, or having enough customers to tattle on each other.

What retail stores in Australia usually are happy to do work experience?

I’m 15 and I have to do work experience for school. I’m thinking of using this to try and get a part-time job. I’m thinking something like Retail, or similar like a supermarket, but I just want to know what stores usually accept work experience. I have to do it for a week and work a full day. Any ideas??? I don’t want to do fast Food.

I know for a fact that the Body Shop does, as I have a friend who did her work experience there. But almost any store should accept work experience, after all they get someone to do their work for free. Just decide which stores you like and would like to work in, and go in and ask the manager if they do work experience.

But honestly, you arent guaranteed a job after and you’d be better off doing work experience in the field you want to end up in.

How do i sell at retail and wholesale without breaking the law?

admin — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 09:03:17 +0000

If your a wholesaler you cant sell at retail and a retailer cant sell at wholesale. Yet companies have ways of doing this in a legal way. For example: Microsoft Xbox distributes there Xbox product to stores at at wholesale prices but you can also buy the product directly from the Microsoft retail website. How do they get around these wholesale laws? If i wanted to do something similar do i have to create a new company and have 2 companies 1 for retail and 1 for distributing wholesale? Thanks

What laws are you talking about? Retailers can sell wholesale to anyone with a resale permit. Retail prices are determined by the cost of goods and can be changed at any time by the seller. As a store owner for over 19 years there are no laws restricting sales regarding retail/wholesale except that sales taxes are collected on retail sales and none on wholesale sales. I was free to set my own prices based on the free market and the cost of my product.
