Hey so quick question. đŸ‘‹đŸ»

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? đŸ€”

I wouldn’t automatically rule yourself out from manager roles if you’ve run your own business. A lot of skills transfer over.

That said, if you’re getting zero traction after a few months, applying to some cashier, associate, or shift lead roles might help you get your foot in the door and build retail-specific experience. Ensure your resume properly translates your experience though.

Hey
If you don’t have previous management experience that is verifiable you probably won’t get a Management position right away unless you BS your way thru the interview. Unless you can interview like a true entrepreneur like on Shark tank with all the #’s & business success stories. I’d get into the company first and work my way up. Make sure it’s a good fit and all that. Good Luck!

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!

I've had three interviews so far: 1) with the recruiter, 2) with the hiring manager, 3) with the lead of an adjacent division. I was contacted by the hiring manager (just 5 days after interview 3) asking if I was still interested and if I'm available for another meeting. He mentioned it would only take 30 minutes. Any thoughts on what to expect?
