About to lose my job, what can I do with six months of retail management trainee experience?
Asked by MLeinart7
The company has offered me a demotion as a pharmacy technician, which would pay like $10 an hour. I got another month in my management trainee position, so what can I do with it if I look for jobs elsewhere? I want to get out of retail.

chin up, Look for another trainee management role.
A:
I had 8 years of retail management experience and I had a hard time getting out of retail.
The problem is that people see that as an unskilled profession for people who are not very intelligent. I had to get an MBA and start at a very low position in a payroll loan company to get out. This is my experience and it may not reflect what may happen to you. I would suggest that you start looking ASAP and tell everyone what you are looking for. It helps to know what you want in addition to what you don't want.

My Goodness, get out of retail during the Christmas Season? 1. get in writing - good comments and reviews from your fellow workers / suppliers etc. use these as proof of your abilities in an interview. 2.) network - call your competitors - indicate that you'd be willing to help them during the Christmas rush - and then inventory,- do this on a second shift or parttime basis. If they like you - they may keep you. 3) call the state unemployment/jobs center. A change to a unacceptable wage due to a work slowdown may quality for benefits - at least check into the openings they know of. 4) show initiative, if this is not a punitive demotion, use this as an opportunity to tell others that you saw the writing on the wall and need to check out some other industries. That's enough for now
