Question For A Retail Store Manager
I am a seventeen year old student. I have had my resume done professionally but I don't have any retail experience (just volunteering, interning et cetera).
I was just wondering what you look for in an applicant? Being extremely honest. What factors do you consider more: experience/looks/personality/et cetera?
If you aren't a manager, your feedback is also appreciated but please indicate that you aren't in your apply.
Thanks <3

I've been a manager of a pretty big group of staff before. And as for what I looked for? Looks didn't even factor into the situation.
Experience and personality are probably the two factors any employer will be interested in. But there's one important thing to remember - if you are the right 'fit' for a job, they will often allow you to gain skills/training/experience on the job.
You might have the right experiences, but without the right mindset, they won't want you. I wouldn't worry too much about your lack of 'real' experience. Anything is an experience you could have learned from, if you present it the right way.
Your CV will get you an interview, but yourSELF will get you a job.
Best of luck.

Hi,
I was a weekend manager while I was at college.
In my opinion what counts most when people are considering you for a job in a retail environment is how approachable you are to people and what sort of people skills you have.
Experience can sometimes come into it but everyone has to start somewhere - right?
If you have the right personality then I am sure that your prospective employer will see that quality in you - that is after all why they are the manager!
Good luck!!
