I'm actually a sales associate right now, but the other manager that works there is going to leave and become full time at her other job now, so I'm up for that position if I want it! so there's always opportunity there and it's a lot of fun! I've been there for over a year and a half, it's a great job!

Thanks everyone!!


Now I'm just debating on what to wear


I don't want to be too dressy - or too casual - any tips?

Wear something you feel comfortable in. You don't want to be distracted by your clothing. Do you have a favorite work outfit? I think that would be appropriate as it's office attire right?

Good luck! Don't be too nervous, we're all gunning for you here!

Good Luck!

As far as what to wear, what do the managers in the store normally wear?

Usually when I go in there, they all wear casual/nice clothes - stuff thats in the store - I was thinking of black pants and a sweater - just something nice, but not too overly dressy? I don't want to go in there wearing jeans and a shirt, I want to look somewhat professional!

Sorry Tara didn't get a chance to get back with you. I just saw the PM to her (TaraJason) this morning.

I would say that black pants and a sweater would be fine. I've never seen anybody dressed up more than that. Good luck!

You'll be fine, as always, just be yourself.

Probably the usual. What are you strengths/weaknesses, etc. Depends on the manager too.
