How do I transition back to retail management after spending 9 months as a receptionist?
Asked by Claudettes18
I was a retail Loss prevention manager for almost 3 years. I then moved and stupidly got a job as a receptionist. I want to go back to retail but I am not sure how to explain the dramatic job difference in responsibilities and show that I am still qualified to be a manager.

Best Answer:
You moved and got the first available job. A very acceptable answer. And lucky for you in retail it's already Christmas so everyone is hiring. Good Luck

Well I say just put yourself out there.. & with your experience you are bound to get lucky... just say you where in school and as a receptionist it was easier to manage your school & work schedule... but that L.P. is your true calling and you need it to complete you..lol well Good Luck claudettes18... I always say P.M.A. (positive mental attitude) it helps!!! I have faith in you!
