• Answer:

  You should be able to get a retail role based on your customer service experience in restaurants. If you have not been successful so far it may be that you are presenting yourself in the wrong way? Remember they will want -you to look smart, tidy and clean - similar to their customer profile. So earings, piercings and tattoos would not help unless perhaps you are in a young person's environment - you to explain how your skills match their needs for - team work, interpersonal skills, dealing with customers Your CV needs to be focused on a retail store role This free guide will help you with your CV http://www.tonygoddardconsulting.com/career-coaching/cv-graduate-example/ This one will help you with interviews http://www.tonygoddardconsulting.com/career-coaching/interviews-success/ Look at online job boards for retail roles.
