I’m a fresh grad trying to find a full-time office job, but it's been tough. I’m wondering if taking up a retail job as my first job is a good idea. Will I be stuck in retail if I choose this path, or can it help me build transferable skills for an office career later on? Anyone been in this situation? Would love to hear your thoughts! 🙏

Working in retail is not just "stand around and sell things" okay? People always say retail job “easy”. You just need to stand, smile, and sell. But they don’t see us dealing with rude customers, no rest breaks during peak hour, and still expected to hit sales target. 😩 And if we complain, they say “customer is always right.” How to tahan? Some days I really feel like walking out, but bills gotta be paid...

I’ve noticed how quiet some malls and retail outlets have become. With footfall going down, it makes me wonder. How can businesses keep their sales and profits up? I think it’s all about getting creative lah. Maybe more in-store experiences like workshops, live demos, or pop-ups that draw people in. Or even collabs with influencers to create hype. I’ve seen some places use AR tech for cool “try-before-you-buy” features too. Retail has to go beyond just selling; it’s about creating experiences.

In retail selling clothes for a while now. I wasn't happy cause the pay isn’t great. I know some retail jobs pay better, but I’m not sure which ones. Is it better to sell luxury items like perfume, watches, or designer brands? Do commissions make a big difference, or is it mostly the hourly rate? I want to stay in retail but earn more. Any advice on which stores or industries pay the best?

Three years in retail, and I swear, nothing builds patience like dealing with customers who treat you like their personal punching bag. One minute they’re friendly, next minute they’re shouting over a discount that expired last week. And somehow, the customer is always right. 😮‍💨 My friend switched to office work and keeps telling me to do the same, but I actually enjoy retail—just hate the way we get treated. Stay or go?

excited to explore job opportunities in Singapore, I’m flexible with my schedule, as long as I get at least one day off per week. More importantly, I want a long-term career where I can grow and contribute. I believe in staying positive, being a team player, and always improving myself! If you have any tips, experiences, or job recommendations, I’d really appreciate it! Thanks in advance, and wishing success to everyone here!
