Retail Worker Career Profiles

Working in retail gives you a chance to meet new people every day and help them make decisions and purchases. Retail workers excel at their job by juggling multiple demands on their time and listening to customers. If you want an entry-level job that could lead to advanced careers, a retail position might be a good solution for you.

Due to the diversity and sheer number of retail locations, you can choose to apply at a retail store that best fits your interests and hobbies. For example, if you love to play video games, working at a video game store will let you work in a place that you enjoy. Duties for beginning retail workers may include ringing up customer purchases, helping with product returns, restocking shelves, and answering customers’ questions.

Basic retail jobs do not always require a high school education; many high school students pick up part-time work as a retail worker. A high school diploma can give you an edge over other applicants, however. If you wish to advance within the company from an entry-level position, an associate’s or bachelor’s degree will help.

If you enjoy employing a well-rounded skill set and interacting with new people every day, you might excel at being a retail worker. To learn more about the daily life of a retail worker, read some of the career profiles below. We’ve interviewed experienced retail workers to give you the inside scoop.
