How can I get A job in retail with no prior experience?

The low salaries and the extensive responsibilities as an associate in retail make you the right candidate for the job. Typically retail stores are known for hiring high school students or graduates with no experience based on the minimum wage pay. The recommended steps are as follows: 1) Visit the retail stores in person that you would like to work at and request to speak to a manager or someone in the employment office about open positions display a upbeat, friendly and positive attitude. Shake hands and look the person in the eye. This way you can apply at the store if permitted or at the store's on-line website. 2) Dress as you would on a interview i.e. two piece matching suit in blue and grey with a white long sleeve blouse (not sheer) and conservative shoes i.e. flats or low heels. One piece of jewelry no ear or nose piercings. 3) Start soliciting professional references i.e. teachers, coach, a neighbor, church minister or someone in the congregation respected, a person you babysat for etc. You will need to discuss this with the person to seek their approval as far as being a reference to state you are reliable, mature, outgoing personality, a people person, dedication, if a teacher good grades/attendance etc. The information you will require from these references are i.e. full name (first and last), phone number, address, job title etc. Then type this information on a WORD document with the title Professional References. 4) Most importantly check the company website under either history, about us etc. to be prepared when the question is asked "What do you know about Macys).
