OK, so I’m looking for a job, my first one. I’m 17 and I was wondering if you guys think this would be good for a first job. It’s a merchandiser at sears. Here’s the description of the job: Merchandising and Pricing Associate
Responsible for the execution of marketing and visual programs to include Monthly Action Plans, Plan-o-grams, Zone-o-grams, ad set-up and takedown, promotional set-up and replenishment of promotional thresholds, bulk stacks, outposts, and end caps, and signage changes as well as supervision of hourly associates engaged in the same activities. This individual will cover all departments in the store. Key activities may occur on Sundays.
Required:
Ability to follow and complete assigned merchandising instructions and plans
Strong drive for results
Excellent communication skills
I am a little shy. But i really don’t know where else to look =/
Of promotional thresholds simply engaged in the same activities? Nonsense.
this dumb emily lady is a spammer make sure you mark her as one.. and yes this sounds like an awesome job… i would snatch it up
Actually, my job is fairly similar to that. I work for Kohl’s on the Overnight team. A lot of what I do you have described above. I don’t know if you would be working overnight like me, but I enjoy it. I do not have to deal with annoying customers.
Although, I also have to unload semi-trailers packed with merchandise. I doubt you will have to do that though. As far as replenishment goes, it’s pretty easy. On the other hand, Ad set-up and takedown is one of the MOST boring jobs ever! I was trained and in ad set for one night and I never want to do it again.
I’m going say Sears for your first job would be good. A career in Retail is a lot better then a job in food service!
