SO YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
WORKING IN RETAIL!
The retail industry in the 1960’s, 70’s and until the mid 80’s was a completely different storey
when it came to talking of career prospects and financial rewards than the retail industry of
today?

So where does one start and explain about employment in the retail industry? One has to
start somewhere, so why not with the retail stores? In the smallish or village store they sell
smaller quantities of products or services to the general public. Then there are businesses
that operate as a retail outlet or megastore, who will typically buy goods directly from
manufacturers or wholesale suppliers at a volume discount and will then mark them up in
price for sale to end consumers.
In this economical climate, retail jobs are incredibly popular right now; after all, you don’t
‘always’ need qualifications to get a foot in the door and there CAN be great opportunities
for training and development.
There are lots of different jobs that you can do in retail, from junior customer service roles
right up to area manager, responsible for several key stores and if you are talented or lucky
even become an owner of one! Do you have what it takes?

So, what retail job is available?

Depending on your interests, qualifications, experiences and skills there is a huge selection of
jobs to choose from.
