From greeting customers and answering questions to restocking shelves and working the register'anyone who has worked a retail job before knows the hustle and bustle can be both fun and challenging.

Working in retail requires someone who has great customer service skills, sales skills and math skills to take the transaction from 'welcome in' to 'thanks and have a great day.' And there are many ways to do this job. With a wide range of stores out there, retail salespeople can apply their skills to everything from the automotive industry to clothing. In fact, with more than 4.4 million people employed, retail salesperson is one of the most popular jobs in the country.
