TC asked:


My wife and I are considering relocating to the Fayetteville/Springdale, AR area(s), and I’d like to remain the retail field. I’ve managed entertainment stores for the last 6 years, but would also consider maybe selling insurance or whatever. It’d be great if any of you have any tips, or even better if you have any direct connections and could help me locate a good position. Thanks in advance, all.

Hey all.

I’m starting my own internet-based business soon and I need to know if there’s software that can self-update the inventory on my future website. Basically, I’m asking if there is an RMS (Retail Management System)software that also updates inventory/sales/customer contacts, etc. If such software database exists, please tell me how/where. Major kudos to the best answer, thank you very much for reading this!

Basic asked:


Hello, I’m about to graduate and looking into retail management (Target, RiteAid, etc) as a possible career, however do people look down upon retail managers? In other words is it a respectable career? Something to be proud of and to brag to friends, family and complete strangers. I have worked in retail most of my life and have always wanted to get into a management position (retail management) lol. What do you guys think?

futurefhmal asked:


why am i finding it so hard to find an assistant management position that does not require 1 year+ of management experience. i have about 2 years of retail experience and as well as the fact that i’ve worked two retail jobs totaling to 40 hrs+ a week for the last 5 months. i also am at my 6th month of being a member of part-time key holding management…theres just really no room for further advancement and there hasnt been for about 1 year. i know that other than my hard-copy of experience that i’m very qualified to be an assistant manager and all of my managers will atest to it and are willing to give great references…does anyone have any tips or know of any companies i should try? i’d like to stay within fashion. i’m starting to get discouraged.
