Hi to everyone!

I'm thinking of handing in my CV to apply for a weekend job at the Aylesbury retail store next week, and just wondered what people working in retail thought of thier jobs?

What sort of targets do you get set/what's a typical day like etc.?

Also, I'm a tad confused with the way the interview process works. From what I understand from the phone call I had with someone from the store its all done centrally, but how do they actually carry out all the interviews and training?

At the moment I work in a newsagent but I'd really like to work in an environment where I get to interact with customers more and really make sure that everybody is as happy as possible.

Thanks,
Andrew

p.s. If anyones got any useful CV writing tips, please let me know!
