Its a real joy when you find a stop assistant that actually knows what they're doing and can provide useful advice. In most places though a retail assistant just means someone who knows how to operate the checkout.
- nicoburns 5y agoI once interviewed for a shop assistant position in a chain that sells consumer electronics and computers as I thought my technical knowledge would be applicable. Turns out the company didn’t actually want me to help people, they just wanted me to sell as much as possible.
- zz865 5y agoThis is the typical response. OK what are you looking to spend? Ok for that price you can buy this one - gee thanks.
- twiddling 5y agoI seek out smaller, focused shops for this experience. Any kind of chain/big box store will be lacking vs. a niche retailer where the staff is invested in the business ( high end camera equipment, for instance ). Although sometimes that experience can also be pedantic and condescending to a novice.
