I am in my first year working retail and would like to move on from just working the till. I am good at my job and I'm glad I have it, but I would like a little more fulfillment. How did you move up in your job when you first started? any advice on how I can move on from just till work?

If you want to move up in the organization, don't be shy about that. Let your manager know you'd like more to do, and see if there are more interesting roles you could move up into. It's also good to just establish that you're a dedicated worker, so if you have a chance to step up and volunteer to do things that are needed, do that and make your work ethic visible.

Be flexible. Do the tasks no one else wants to do. And most importantly, be VOCAL about wanting more/a promotion. Because it is a thin line between going for a promotion, and being taken advantage of.

Hi There, I’m a Senior freelance Digital PM/Producer based out of Toronto, Canada. I figure with remote work being the norm now, there would be more opportunity to collaborate with US agencies.
