520 _aFrom sales assistant to international fashion buyer, the opportunities available in retailing are many and diverse. But what does a career in this field really involve, and would you enjoy, or suit, working in it? Packed with insights and tips from people actually working in retailing - plus key practical information and industry 'vital statistics' - this user-friendly guide gives you the inside track on what it's really like to work in this world, and helps you decide whether it's for you. Written in lively, jargon-free language, and illustrated with real-life quotes, case studies and debunking 'myth busters,' the book is organised into three key sections : The job - an overview of the industry, details of individual jobs, daily routine at various levels. The person - key skills and experiences of successful recruits. Getting in, Getting on... Getting out - where to look for vacancies, applications and interviews (plus what employers are looking for), prospects for promotion, moving on, etc. A jargon buster, useful addresses and further reading are included at the end of the book. Whether looking for a first job, or thinking of changing career direction, Retailing - The Insider Career Guide is an essential resource. - Back cover
