I cannot emphasize this enough. Take a chance on previous #retail leadership candidates!! 📣 Especially ones who come from well-know brands with high-volume sales and customers with high expectations when it comes to the experience. We have grit, work ethic, determination. We are goal-setters and want to do the best work. We know a lot more then just how to sell or fix a product and lead a team to do so, I promise you that. We know HR, operations, inventory management, customer satisfaction, onboarding and off-boarding, emotional intelligence, how to motivate and inspire all walks of life (including those that are often in the bottom 20-30% of the bell curve). In a fast-paced, ever changing environment, we have resilience. Where is this coming from? I see retail leaders struggling to leave retail although it’s the best fit for their quality of life. Maybe they need a better schedule for work-life balance and to start a family. Maybe they need to be off their feet now that they have been running around a retail store for 20 years. Maybe they have a degree and want to get into their field that they spent tens of thousands of dollars on. A #resume doesn’t define a candidate. Give #retailleadership a chance. #hiring #recruiting #retailresilience #qualityoflife #worklifebalance #graduates

A lot of my friends asked me “Why do you work in retail? You have college degree. You have a corporate background. You could do better!” Everyone has their own journey and life goals. I want to have my own business in the future. No other job can groom me like a retail job. That’s why I applied to be a cashier with my college degree and 10 years experience in Public Relations and Marketing but 0 years of Retail experience. Retail workers are tough! Being a retail manager is not for everyone. Everyday is a new day. You have to be creative to handle some situations with customers. Internal and external theft is another challenging part of the job in recent years. Hiring and firing sometimes can be emotional. Coaching and developing have to be your strong suit. Optimizing the team and leading the way have to be done together in a balanced way. I can go on and on for all the skills that retail managers have to have! If I can be a retail manager and run a multi-million dollar store successfully, why can’t I run my own business successfully? #retail #leadership #entrepreneur #dreambig
