I liked interacting with customers and helping them with everyday needs

What I wish was different

That we could sit down once in a while

Advice

Just be yourself. As for confiddence, fake it till you make it. But don't seem so confident that you look cocky. Because that makes you look stupid. And always remember that it does not hurt to ask questions. Its better to do the right thing after asking a question, then do the wrong work because you were too stubborn or anxious to ask your senior co-workers around you

Sales Associate

May - August 2019 • Larkspur, CA

What I liked

As someone who has never worked in retail before I got a glimpse of the other side of a business. I found a great appreciation for people in the stores who are really helping a company flourish. As a marketing major a got a real understanding of consumer behavior and peoples purchasing decisions.

What I wish was different

I wish to have experienced different departments of the store. I also wish I could have a better understanding of the day to day role the store manger has on the floor and in the office.

Advice

Pay attention to everything. Details on why products are in certain places of the store, strategies behind selling the items that are in the weekly ads, consumers buying behavior, customer and employee interaction. I took everything as a learning experience. I found that there is a particular reason a retail store does business the way they do.
