Hey so quick question. 👋🏻

I'm feeling like I'm aiming high for positions like manager when I don't even have one job in retail unless we count my own business Pisces Artists.

Is that the case? Should I switch to cashier and see if I get better resultss in job interviews because of this? What do you guys think? 🤔

For manager roles. Recruiters want to see it mentioned or the duties of a manager. The thing is in this climate. You’re competing with ppl who have the title. I would try even associate manager or assistant manager.

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!
