Q: retail management?
why am i finding it so hard to find an assistant management position that does not require 1 year+ of management experience. i have about 2 years of retail experience and as well as the fact that i've worked two retail jobs totaling to 40 hrs+ a week for the last 5 months. i also am at my 6th month of being a member of part-time key holding management...theres just really no room for further advancement and there hasnt been for about 1 year. i know that other than my hard-copy of experience that i'm very qualified to be an assistant manager and all of my managers will atest to it and are willing to give great references...does anyone have any tips or know of any companies i should try? i'd like to stay within fashion. i'm starting to get discouraged.
A: This is one of the Catch 22s in life. Nobody will hire you to be an assistant manager without you already being an assistant manager. Once you get the title you can go anywhere with it.
So.. how to get the title.
1) get a degree
2) Stay with current company until promoted
3) Look for a place with high turnover. You'll probably hate the job, but if you can hang in there for a year or so you should be promoted.
4) Network, get to know the management of establishments where you'd like to work, tell them of your situatuion, they might "fast track," you to management.
Q: Will Retail Management experience help me for Accounting jobs once I earn my accounting degree?
I have about two years to go to finish my B.S. in Accounting. How will it look to employers if I have about 2-3 years experience working for Walgreens as an assistant manager?
A: it will look outstanding -- you have had to make choices in that job and learn people skills that can not be measured!!!
Q: What other jobs are available to someone with only retail management and customer service experience?
A: There are jobs out there. You cannot sit at the computer and ask this question. Your loca tv station should have employers advertising for help. I had eleven jobs in one year. when I worked. Finally, the 12th was the right and best one. Ya just have to search and use trial and error.

Q: I am trying to find a job outside of retail management, but I dont know what other jobs I am qualified for?
A: Think of what skills you bring:
Do you manage people? How many? What conflicts have you had to resolve? What about time management and projects (think about inventory schedules, getting new seasons gear out on time, etc) What about hiring? Firing? Training? Do you see where I'm going with this?
If you have a degree, apply to other field's managers postings. No degree? Look over the postings anyway - some will take a qty of years experience over a degree. Just be open minded when you search - and think of all that your job entails and translate that to the next one, you'll do fine - retail is HARD, and most folks in the world realize that.
Good Luck!
Q: What are some things I can do to get a job in retail management?
I have tons of retail sales experience, as well as customer service experience. I've sold everything from children's clothing to carwashes to suits and cell phones. All of my previous employers have told me that I am an excellent saleswoman, and as much as I love retail, I want a more permanent position, with steady hours, such as supervisor/keyholder, assistant manager, or store manager.
A: Believe it or not, I was just like you. I didnt have any retail management experience but a lot of retail sales - customer service experience. Back in 2005 I went to a Job Fair, and they only had a few part time sales associates positions and 2 asst manager positions. I took the chance, and applied for the assistant manager position. I was called a few days later for an interview, * keep in mind* I have never worked in retail management. This was a huge department store, this position required managing 8-12 employees. I spoke with the Supervisor at the interview and told him I had no experience, he said that he was very interested because I had experience in the retail field. I was hired, and I trained with the Supervisor for 6 weeks. I enjoyed my job. In your case, I would say apply for assistant manager, most jobs offer management training programs. Some even have manager, co manager, manager in training, and other programs to assist entry level managers. Dont sell your self short, are you a hardworker? Do you strive for immediate results? Are you motivated to get the job done? Can you manage / help others? I would say apply for the position of assistant manager. I did, and I didnt think I would get a call. But as I said, DONT SELL YOURSELF SHORT. Experience is everything, but motivation, and confidence also intrigues employers. You must have that go getter attitude. Settling for only the best.
Good Luck.

Q: change for retail management to something in the healthcare field ?
I have a heart for helping people but currently have a job in retail management. will that be an easy transition? I have a BA in finance, will I have to go back to school to go into something for something like and also do you guys have any suggestions? Pay matters a little so I don't want to do anything that max out at 40k.
A: I suppose I can suggest what NOT to do.
1) Records. To be a manager in records, you max out at about $45K, depending on where you live.
2) Social work doesn't pay squat and takes a masters degree in order to be considered billable by Medicare requirements.
3) Most other therapies, ie: art therapy, expressive therapy, occupational therapy.... require a lot of schooling and don't pay much, either.
Your best bet, for the most money and least amount of schooling, will be to go into nursing, or so I think. The pay doesn't really 'max out' and it's flexible on many levels. You can do many different occupations, even nurse administration, and the pay is pretty decent.
Q: Has anyone made the change from restaurant management to retail and if so how did the jobs compare/?
I am thinking about switching career field from restaurant to retail or something similar. Please describe the positives and negatives.
A: After I quit my job as a general manager for Pizza Hut, I became a shift manager at Gamestop. I assumed it would be much better than working with food. Most of the management duties were the same such as scheduling and cash control. Inventory was another story. Nothing was manually ordered except for reserved orders. We had no control over our stock it was all done electronically depending on what was bought throughout the corporation. This seems like it would be easier but its harder to account for a shipment when you don't know what it is. Higher priced items had to be tracked and l would pick rolling silverware or washing dishes over logging seriel numbers any day. There are a lot more monotonous tasks to be done and just like in any management job sometimes you get stuck doing them. At any retail place you are going to have to organize shelves which is so incredibly horrible to do when there are customers walking around and messing them up behind you. Labor is a little harder to control and theft prevention is something that you are responsible for. It can also be harder to please a customer if something is defective. Some items at stores are supplied by vendors, like DVD's, so if its open you can't exchange it or refund their money. Remaking someones food or voiding something off of their bill is pretty easy in a restaurant. If you plan on working in retail you'll miss out on free lunch but you might get a good discount at a store. Work somewhere with products you are interested in.
Q: Retail management = loserish?
If you know all the people you graduated with are accomplishing great things, have great jobs, does it seem somewhat "loserish" if all one can get is a position in retail management - even with a degree?
Retail isn't the greatest thing in the world, I know, but even it has some positive aspects, and depending on the position can pay decent.
What is your opinion of retail management jobs and those in them?
A: I work in retail management. I think it's a great job for someone with a "people pleasing" disposition. Any job you get up and go to every day is NOT a bad job nor is it "loserish" As long as you can pay your bills each month. I know people in retail, that make more than any college educated doctor or lawyer. It's not what you do it's how well you do it and whether or not you like what you do. The real issue is this.....you evidently think it's a loser position....not the people your trying to impress. Change the way you think of your job...there is NOTHING demeaning or easy about busting your A$% trying to please someone(if you have ever had to deal with a difficult customer you know where I am coming from). It takes a "special breed" of people to deal with the public and keep them satisfied.
You need to accept that it's the best you can do( for the time being if it's not what you really want) and there is nothing wrong with it.
