Retail Sales Assistant

My boss always says "The sale isn't over until they have walked out the door,
with the product". Hi, my name's Josh and I'm a client advisor.
I work at a menswear store. We do made-to-measure clothing,
we tailor clothes,
we sell off the rack and generally make men look good.
A client advisor assists people when they come into the store,
assists them with trying on clothes, recommending clothes.
An average day for me starts at 9:30,
making sure the store looks beautiful for the clients,
and then we open the doors to the public.
Young came in asking for a smart jacket that he could wear
to work, but also out to dinner. So this is a wool,
silk and cashmere cloth. [We] made this jacket half-lined,
so it's taken a lot of weight out of it.
You don't need any qualifications to work here. Personally,
I studied fashion design.
I came here with not having too much retail experience,
but having a passion for clothing.
The hardest thing about my job is probably juggling clients. So
we do lots of weddings, manage deadlines quite a bit,
their expectations.
So because we advise clients on how to look after their clothes,
we've got to look after the clothes in the store. So that's what I'm doing.
The biggest thing I've learned in my job is probably organisation skills and
planning ahead, to be friendly and be passionate about what you're selling.
My advice for somebody who would like to do what I do,
start with developing relationships.
If there's a store that you really want to work in,
just go in and meet the people who work there and find out about the
brand or the store. It will follow. If you have enough passion and enough drive,
everything else will follow.
