Hi I am 31yrs old and have previously worked in mining,apart from when I was 15-20 I did work in a newsagency then as a travel consultant. Recently I was made redundant due to down turn in the industry and me only working part time. As a family we decided that I wouldn't accept a full time shift working role as we didn't want to employ a Nanny when husband works shift work also. I am looking to get some part time work in retail, something like the just jeans, myer, cotton on, pillow talk etc etc. Do I need to wait until jobs are advertised or should I walk into the stores and resume drop? If so, what sort of clothing do I wear? Also if I have 1-2 days a week for day care then can work particular alternating days around DH roster would many people find that acceptable? The roster can be projected years in advance. I really would love to work in retail, meet people and friends and work my way up over the years to manage a store but I have no idea where to start. Any advice appreciated.
