Getting your first full time job can be difficult; however it is not impossible and if you have the right attitude you should find a position in no time.
I suggest you create at CV/Resume (if you haven’t already), it is very important that you list all your experience even if it just includes holiday positions or such jobs as babysitting, gardening etc. You must ensure spelling, grammar and layout of your CV is CORRECT – Retailworld would be happy to give you advice on this if you would like to send your CV through. I suggest you hand your resume into the fashion stores that you like to shop at, ask for the manager (never just give your CV to the sales staff as it can get lost with the number of applicants), go well presented, introduce yourself and BE CONFIDENT – first impressions do last. The team at Retailworld are not only about finding positions but they are also here to give advice and help you take steps to find the right job for you. So if you have any further questions feel free to contact us.

Hi,
I have been out of work due to redundancy. I have applied for anything and everything. At times I had thought I had a good chance where I have experience in retail and sales. Would it be possible if I could send my cv and cover letter through for you to look through.
