What I had in mind was to do some retail work for experience and then use that to stepping stone but I feel like there are some skills that retail work wont teach me that would be important to someone higher up. <br />Current goal is to gain the experience needed to take over some responsibilities at the family business.<br /><br />Is it worth doing retail work first? My parents said most people get promoted based on their skills within the company within 3 months to 2 years.<br />What are some important things to learn related to retail management? How much of must be learnt on the job? GingaBomber Jobs &amp; Careers Wed, 23 Oct 2019 12:40:47 +0800
