illest 0 Posted September 29, 2009 I'm a 26 year old retail store manager with a BA in Business Admin. Problem is that all of my experience is in retail/sales and my degree is in that line as well. I live in a city of about 150k; is there any line of work a guy like me can get in to that would allow me to make at least 50k per year starting? I currently make 60k per year and would love to get out of the retail/sales industry but I just don't think I can afford getting in at an entry level position in another field. At least that I'm aware of, whats a guy like me who wants to jump industries do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least that I'm aware of, whats a guy like me who wants to jump industries do? I'm in somewhat of a similar situation, albeit at a higher salary level. I'm trying to move to a similar but not-quite-same industry and maintain my general salary level. This may not seem like rocket science, but sometimes simple words help: - Identify targeted growing industries for which you are both interested and you think you can be successful at. - Streamline your resume to highlight how your capabilities would benefit companies in those industries. - Read as much as you can about those industries and identified companies. - Target your cover letters to the specifics you learned and apply for appropriate positions.
