Mod, I am really not sure where to post about this...please move it accordingly. TIA!!
Well, recently I have been thinking really hard what to do with my life/career since I just don't have this fulfilling sense at my current job, especially I have invested so much time, energy and money in my education in architecture. I've been hating my job for a very very long time, due to the economy and other stuff, i have been at my current job for over 8 years. Few days ago, i was reading an article about career change, it asked me if i hated my job or my career. I thought about that for a while and I can be quite honest with myself I hate my job and I am okay with my career but I don't feel I love what I am doing...i think my heart is not in it...may be that's why i've been delaying my license exam for all these years.
I have always been interested in fashion, I like helping friends to shop...like telling them where to shop, what brand and what looks good on them. i had a couple of fans (my sister, my mom and a couple of friends who asked me to shop with them). i like to shop myself . I did some researches about being a personal shopper and I actually went to FIT to ask for some advice...the lady told me i could actually drop by Macy and ask for a job as SA to begin with and work my way up to become a PS which was pretty much the same advice i've read from online as well.
i would like to ask for advice of how to get a job at a high end dept store as a SA...is it bad to ask a SA that i've dealt with to ask for info and probably reference?
any tips to be a good SA?
any advice to be a personal shopper?
any advice in general in this matter.
I would love to hear your opinions...anything.
thanks for taking your time to read this long post.
