A guide to retail jobs

Retail careers can vary greatly but all typically provide services to either both businesses and individual customers or specialise in products specific to one or the other. Retailers normally have their staff working in teams and those teams can be located within stores, an office, or even a warehouse. Working times are usually allocated on a shift basis and will vary depending on the specific products and/or services being provided. The type of products that retailers sell can vary, they may sell very specific products or offer a diverse range of merchandise. For example, a retailer might specialise in selling electronics, produce, entertainment or clothing while some larger stores might offer a mixture of these. Good customer service is a key part of any retail sales success and most retailers now have an online presence that bridges the gap between online sales and the high street shops.
Michael Page Retail & Fashion have forged strong relationships with our clients over the past 40 years. The jobs we recruit for range from positions within traditional stores to multiples and department stores, as well as multi-channel operations, online retailers, mail order and TV shopping channels, covering food, non-food and general merchandise.

Key retail skills

As a retailer, good communication skills are a must when dealing with queries and executing a sale. If the customer can’t understand you or if you fail to get your point across, that oversight could impact any potential sale. You need to be comfortable working directly with members of the public because sales roles require regular interaction with customers, whether that’s on the phone or face-to-face. You also need to possess a confident demeanour, not only will this improve a customer’s confidence in you as a sales representative but it will also increase their association with the brand or product you are selling to them. A shy and uncertain sales person might discourage a customer from making a purchase. 
Being helpful and polite, while possessing a comprehensive understanding of your area of sales is a must. The better you know your product, the more confident you will be in selling it and similarly your potential buyer will have more confidence in you. Finally, a person that works within retail needs to be able to work effectively as part of a sales team which would include getting point of sales (POS) items ready, filling in if a colleague is away, completing a sale on behalf of a colleague or helping a colleague by persuading a customer that the product that they’re considering is the right one.

Qualifications and experience

Retail jobs have no formal educational requirements. However, most employers look for what you already know. For a lot of retail jobs, experience is learned while training on the job, although some large stores have training programs for new hires. If you have any prior experience with the products you'll be expected to sell it will be a plus, such as IT experience when applying for a sales position at a computer or electronics store. Prior experience will help boost your initial salary.
However, if you’ve set your sights on long-term career progression then there are various levels of qualifications available for you to choose from and these qualifications enable employers to make better informed decisions during the crucial recruitment stages. The levels range from entry level through to level 8. The higher levels begin from the City &Guilds Higher Professional Diploma in Retail Management (level 4) and the BTEC Higher National Diploma in Retail Management (level 5) and are reserved for those that want to be leaders in their field, e.g. managing directors.  The topics covered do these courses range from customer service, managing retail operations, finance, managing retail environment, to consumer behaviour, supply chain, and retail marketing. Westminster Kingsway College and the University of Brighton offer diploma courses too, like the Access to Higher Education Diploma Business level 3.
If you're interested in undertaking a foundation degree then there are courses available, supported by Skillsmart Retail – the sector skills council. There are higher education institutes that also offer courses including Manchester Metropolitan University, the University of the Arts London, and Leicester College. The degree courses offer a more specialist focus like fashion retailing, retail marketing or buying. There are also postgraduate degree options that include retailing MBAs.
A few big employers are also offering workplace-based courses which allow flexibility to students and provide valuable hands-on experience to better equip them when they progress with their career.
