Megan asked:


I’m 22 and just got offered a job as a full time cashier at a department store. They offer health insurance but don’t have any savings plans such as 401k or anything similar. I want a job I can stay at for several years so I’m wondering if a 401k plan is even necessary and if any retail stores or entry level jobs do offer 401k plans. What do you guys think?

I hear there aren’t many jobs in Portland, but does that mean professional, or like retail and restaurant servers too?

Thanks!

The retail experience also includes supervising 12 people, being responsible for and handling at least $6000.00 in cash, and running a 5,000+ foot square foot clothing department. I don’t know what I want to do with my life, but I NEED a change. I’m a perfectionist and need an occupation that demands perfection and attention to detail. I’m tired of leaving at the end of the night wishing I could’ve gotten more done even though I gave my 110%. I want to clock out knowing that I’ve done my job and have done it well. How is it that the 2.5 extra hours I put in each week makes absolutely no difference whatsoever? Those 2.5 hours are paid 15 minute breaks that I don’t take because there is so much that needs to be done and no one to do it except ME! It will NEVER end. I’m not a lawyer or a doctor, so why should I have to put up with that type of stress for less than $12/hr? Please give me some advice on what types of jobs I would enjoy and be qualified for.

Kate H asked:


Hey everyone! I was just wondering what some of the best retail jobs are out there? I’ve heard Best Buy is a good place because of the employee discount and i was just wondering what some of the other ones were. If you could please tell me the name of the place and why it’s so great, that would be awesome. Thanks!

lolita i asked:


I’ve never worked in a clothing store but have worked in bookstores before. I have a job interview and observation day coming up soon. I don’t want them to just throw me out on the floor without training especially since I don’t know about working in a clothing store. Everyone says it’s easy. Am I overreacting?
