Hi...New to this board, but looking to get back to work!

I have a nursing degree, but am having extreme difficulties finding a job after we moved to a smaller town a year ago.  We are needing the extra income, now especially we want to have baby #2 soon & with the holidays coming.   So I have an interview with Herbergers tomorrow.  Any advice on how to "sell" me on getting the job? I once worked in retail in HS....TIA!

    Just play up the fact that you like working with the public, and you have great customer servicxe skills.  Helping people makes you happy, etc.  I have worked retail in between "real" jobs and always loved it!  Good luck at your interview!

    I agree - just highlight working with people.  Does the scheduling appeal to you too?  I would guess it will be a pretty casual interview.  Good luck!

    I used to do interviews for a retail company. Be prepared to give them an example of how you have sold something- like a service plan for an electronics company or upselling a desert at a resteraunt.  I think a lot of retail companies want to know how you will benefit them.
