What will give you a buzz about wrking in one of our stores? (HELP!!)

Seeing all the new river island products before everyone else and then being able to tell friends/ family about all the fabulous new lines.

In what ways would you be enthusiastic abt selling our product?
I would be entusiastic because I love fashion, I like to keep up with current trends as I know River Island do too, I would be enthusiastic as I would be able to give customers hints/ tips if they needed any and am always willing to help/ get as many sales as possible to be the best sales assistant.

Something like that, go on their website for more details, look on the section for careers if there is one.

£4.85 is minimum wage for 18 year olds, I get £4.92, 7p over minimum wage, lucky me lol.

Don't work in River Island, I worked there a few months ago and it was totally unprofessional, but this was only in my store. Managers slept with their employees and they didn't pay us properly.

I would advise working in Next, pay was much more better and professional but the bitching wasn't.

The minimum wage for 18-21 year olds is £4.10, rising to £4.25 in October.

£4.85 is the minimum wage for 22+ year olds, rising to £5.05 (I think) in October and £5.35 towards the end of 2006.

The minimum wage for 16-17 year olds is £3 which is ridiculous because it just encourages explotation. Grr.
