How to get hired at Retail stores?

Question

I went in with a suit and fill out the application in person at gottchalks, three days later i call back and spoke to the manager he said he WOULD pull my application and yet he still hasnt? Should i go back to the store and talk to him in person or just keep bugging the manager over the phone?

Answer 1

  Yes  ,go  back  and  show  The  Manager  that  you  really are  interested  in  the  JOB,sell  yourself  .....if  not ; find  another  one.

Answer 2

I would call to see if the hiring manager is in first, then go.  After that if they still have not shown an interest in you then let it go.

Answer 3

You probably shouldn't seem too desperate.  When they need someone they will call you if they think they fill your need.  I guess try going in the store and asking about your application.  

Answer 4

give him 2 more days then come in the store again.

Answer 5

I thought it would be fun working for a dpt store.This is what I can tell you from my own personal experience.They hired those of us who were best looking! We are young, good looking, ready to work.

The first day they rolled the red carpet for us and treated us like gold. Day two, they trained us with a very light load and very sweet attitude. By week two, I started to notice the decline in quality and the agressivenes they used to get their way. In less than a month, people got fired, and some quit. I knew then that dpt stores are not for me.

The best way to prepare is as follows:

Be ready to become their slave

Accept low pay

Accept bad treatment and disrespect

Be ready to deal with thankless customers and annoying, thankless superiors

When you do get the job (if you do, but hopefully not), be ready to go home each day so that you can look for another job. That is, if you even have a whisp of energy left.

Then, when you realize that working at McDonalds is much better than working at some dpt store, do that instead. Trust me, you are better off flipping burgers than putting up with useless people.
