      The Worklife Bowl

      Senior Marketing Communications Specialist

      How do I pivot into retail management? I have about 8 years retail experience before I went into marketing, now I’m back in retail because of the current job market and I do love it. My manager just got a promotion and her and I are on really good terms (similar age group, also). I am doing great on the sales floor and I am interested in a path to management. I’m currently a biz manager for a cosmetics line, but have nobody under me as of now. Any tips on paving my way to department manager?

      Are you all in retail for a temporary setting, or are you in it to stay? I started off in retail because I had dropped out of college and didn't want to be at home all day. I've honestly been liking it and like the simplicity and light-heartedness of this job. However, neither of those things brings home a lot of money. I don't know how to advance in retail in a way that I feel financially fulfilled. Have any of you gotten there? Please share!

      I have 15 years retail experience. In that time I have ran full departments, trained staff in customer service, pinning and diary keeping aswell as merchandising. I have also represented companies at wedding shows building relationships with other business. But yet for some reason I cant get another job in retail due to "not having enough experience" does anyone have any advice as this is really starting to get me down as I feel useless thank you

      Has anyone here made the shift from retail to a completely different field? What was it and how did it go for you? I thought I could spend the rest of my life in retail, but 8 years in, I think my soul is searching for something a little more purposeful. I'm not sure what kind of career switches I could consider with the skills I have, so I'd love to hear your stories and be inspired. Share away!!

      If you weren’t in retail what would you want to do? I think retail has away of sucking people in and making us comfortable. It pays just enough and you can get into this routine. I think the only thing in most of our way of leaving this industry is ourselves. Many have made it out. In another life I would have been a power washer company owner.

      I’m looking to do something different in the retail world as I’ve been in the industry for about 5 years now. The problem is I don’t really have a clue what it is I want to do. I am wanting something that is a role with travel, does anyone know any good roles in retail that you can travel for work? I am looking but don’t really know where to look.
