I worked as a mystery shopper recruiter (and had nearly 500 people on my books) all over the country. I also PAID my shoppers (per store visited) on a monthly basis via BACS. The company is based in Warrington, although I worked in the London office. They are called CJ Services, and I would give them a try.\nHappy shopping.

I worked at Wal-Mart for 3 years during college. I had profit sharing, a 401k, annual bonuses and got paid more than any of my friends in other jobs. For smart people who have good work ethic - show up on time, don't steal, learn your department and be nice to the customers, Wal-Mart is a great company to work for.\n\nBeing a sales associate is a LOT more fun than being a cashier. Think about it - when you're in that checkout lane, you have to ask a manager every time you want to go to the bathroom or get a drink. You also get leg and arm cramps from doing the same motions over and over.\n\nWhen you're on the sales floor, you can help customers choose items, put together displays and special sales, and at least walk around and talk to your friends or other coworkers.\n\nIn the interview, they'll want to hear that you're a problem solver. Don't say you'd "ask the manager" every problem. Always try to solve it yourself first. If there's a question on a product, you can almost always find the answer on the box. Just pick it up and read it for the customer. Also, tell them you're punctual, neat, and love being around other people. (Hopefully it's true.)\n\nBeing in a brand new Wal-Mart should be pretty nice. The store is clean and organized and your profits should increase every year, leading to the annual bonus I was talking about. As far as expected pay goes, because you have no work experience, I'd expect about $1 more than minimum wage - this also depends on where you live. But they DO give merit raises (just for working hard) and I think they still give reviews every 3 months (if you do well, you get a raise.) Good luck!

First let me say I thought salaries were higher than that in the north.\n\nBut to your question. Supermarkets tend to promote and let, if not encourage people to move laterally up into manager jobs which pay quite well - much better than your 13.35hr. The down side is you end up having to relocate more often than not to get the next good move up.\n\nNeiman Marcus on the the other hand has a much slower climb system.  I am not sure the 14.50 would cover living in Boston it was too expensive for my taste when it was an option in my life some years back.\n\nMy advice would be to hang on to what you have may be less exciting, but better long term.  But you have to make up your mind as to which kind of person you want to be. A- a person that has a job that allows you to get paid for what you love to do or B- a person who has a job that pays for what you like to do in life.

i don't recommend working retail unless it's seasonal or something because as a long term job, it would suck majorly. \nand to answer your question, it depends where the location is and your own personal experience :)  \nyou should apply and ask how much they are offering to give you. i would say no less than $8 an hour to start even if it is your first job.

There are two ways a store stocks its shelves.  One is to order the items into the store, and have an employee put out the merchandise (think stocker in a grocery store).  The other is to use a merchandiser.  This is a person who works, often on commission, for the manufacturer.  The store gives the company space, and the merchandiser fills it and keeps it fresh.  The best examples are the Frito Lay or Pepsi guys.  It's a good job, pays well, but only if you hustle!  It also helps if you are social, and like chatting with customers :)

They are not the best organized company in the world, that's for sure.  They tend to pay well and have good benefits, though.  My husband is slated to interview with them "sometime", although they've had his resume since September and still haven't filled the position yet.

I can tell you that Abercrombie & Hollister would only have paid you minimum wage anyways. I heard Best Buy was $7-$8. You should hostess at a resturaunt. I know Olive Garden pays $8. Good Luck

Stick with general answers if you've never seen that particular company's job description. While it sounds like they want you to repeat back something you should have read you may be able to skate around the issue.\n\n"The main responsibilities I see for a store manager are making sure that the shift supervisors are all competent and properly manage their employees, keeping track of shrinkage and profit and making sure employees understand and live up to their responsibilities regarding honesty and accurately reporting information about the store to the district manager."

Make sure your experienced and qualified for that position.  When I got my current job, Department Manager, at the interview I explained  all my experience and how I was qualified for the position and also explained even though the salary was good, unfortunately I would struggle with it (single parent) and is it negotiable, I also explained that I was good, very good at my job.  She called the Area Manager and they offered me 2 grand more!  After 1 year was promoted to Deputy Manager with a much larger salary.

Good question! work is for money for me.....but i really dont like what i do....and the one i want to do has no better prospects...it can give me satisfaction but my folks and the society from where i come thinks that is too low a job and not much worth it.....seriously if some one loves books and wants to work as a librarian whats wrong in it....i can just be there in that world and read as much as i can....help people to find what they want...

It is all about the bottom line.\nThe store that does the best sales gets incentives from corporate. It only affects the bonuses that the top managers get.\nBesides that they are looking to get promoted as well.

WOW you picked a subject that is really all over the board. We really only hear of the big paydays for ANN Rice or for the Harry Potter books but it really goes from where the author loses money by publishing his own books to the millions for s top best seller. I have published some stuff but have always been in the red. I have talked to publishing companies but its like record contracts I wouldnt see a dime till after the first 300,00 are sold. I have a friend who writes those supermarket books you see at the checkouts IE: horescopes , weight loss, true love etc. but he only makes a few hundred for each one ( although he can knock one out in a night) so really there is no definate answer for your question it depends on subject , how large the target readership is , how badly a company wants it, your track record ( how meny top sellers you have had in the past) etc.\nanyway great luck\nMike
