How do I get a promotion? in retail?

Hi,

I would recommend doing some leg work and learning as much as possible about the store. You should also contact the district manager, there is an old saying that the early bird gets the worm. If you don't take the initiative to go after it someone else will and if you feel strong enough about it, go for it. The wost thing they could say is no and the best thing they could say is "YES" but be prepared to answer "Why should we give you the position?" At all cost avoid coming across as to how it would benefit you but make it all about the company and how having you as manager with your dedication, commitment to excellence, and can do attitude is a compelling reason. If you are going to criticize have solutions, or first mention all the positives about the store. If the store is running well then keep it all positive that you want to continue in that direction. Most of all believe that you will do a great job in that position and that belief has the power of transference. Believe in yourself, You can do it!

I like what a man in my residence the city used to do Coffee or tea and cookies (from an super good recognized neighborhood bakery) Provided to "Come on Down" and simply see what all of the modern day units are and within the upload he pictured some thing he had that used to be new I dont understand if there's a time of 12 months that electronics stuff 'comes out' however he did that each and every 12 months there used to be an exact coupon for the refreshments !!

There is no harm in applying for that position. if you know you can handel that job and can prove it in interview then you should go for it.

I always recommend people to apply and attend the interviews as much as you can. If not the position at least you will learn what seniors expect for that position.

During interview, you should be

Clear about your goals

Focused towards target/goals

adhering to all the company policies and encourage people to do that.

In retail the most important part is you need to good at sales and admin. If you can prove it the job would be 100% yours.

Good Luck
