I had a quick look around today but everything seemed so expensive. I'm on a budget but need some smart work clothes for a new Sales Consultant job I just got. So any suggestions of where to get the cheapest/best value clothes in Sydney (CBD) that would be brilliant! Thanks.

Is it to do with marketing for a specific company? Is it commission based, involving attracting customers and getting based on the number of people you convince to sign up? I ask this because I company is interested in giving me a job as a sales consultant and I don't want a commission based job like I had a while ago, I didn't enjoy it.

I applied online Monday, attended a 'hiring event' and was offered a job as a sales consultant for ATT full-time It pays $13/hour plus commission. I'm 20 and it seems a bit too good to be true. I feel I could be an excellent sales person, but I read that you must meet a certain sales quota. Is this easy to do or could I easily be fired? Does anyone work at AT&T? I'm just concerned because it seems like I was hired too fast and the interview was held at an ATT nice corp office. Could someone please tell me what the catch is to this?

I am applying for a job as a sales consultant for Verizon Wireless. I do not know how much I should ask for. I know it won't be guaranteed but I don't want to sound like a moron and ask for a ridiculous amount. What is a good amount to ask for when I'm applying for a full time position?

I am exploring the possibility of returning to school for a graduate degree, obtaining a MCSE certification, law school, art school, working a second job or starting a small side business, etc... I am unsure of the value that going back to a formal school would have in my case. I am currently happily employed as a Sales Consultant in a seasonal business which is also tied into the traditional school year, meaning I am working when normal school is in session. I have the potential to make money at my current position. However I wish to improve my life financially and professionally, thus taking advantage of the free time I get during the slow times of year. Any Suggestions?

I applied online Monday, attended a 'hiring event' and was offered a job as a sales consultant for ATT/Cingular. It pays $12/hour plus commission. I'm 18 and starting college, and it seems a bit too good to be true. I want to major in business and feel I could be an excellent sales person, but I read that you must meet a certain sales quota. Is this easy to do or could I easily be fired? I also received a call from Verizon today, wanting to set up an interview. Does anyone work at either of these stores? I'm just concerned because it seems like I was hired too fast and the interview was held at an ATT hiring event in a conference room at a nice hotel. There were quite a few people and I'm just wondering why they are hiring so many people. Could someone please tell me what the catch is to this?

I have a job interview for a job as a sales consultant in carphone warehouse. As part of the interview they want me to bring an item to try and sell to them - I was planning to use an old 3rd gen ipod nano. My question is how do I successfully sell it and what key ideas/skills do I need to use? Or maybe there is a better item I could try to sell?

I really wish I could find a reliable vehicle for a decent price. I need to find something that I can get for almost nothing down and monthly payments of three hundred dollars or less. That seems almost impossible because all of my internet searches keep coming up with minimal results. I’ve even talked to a few “Sales Consultants” over the phone from different “Bad Credit, No Credit, No problem” places. I’ve gotten a few “Let me talk to our finance department and see if we can get you into a vehicle. I’ll call you right back with an answer.” I haven’t received any responses back yet. It is very frustrating, being between a rock and a hard place. I need a reliable vehicle if I want to keep my job due to my constant traveling for work purposes. I need a vehicle to make money, but the problem is that first I need money to get a vehicle. I know once we get into a vehicle, that monthly payments of three hundred dollars (max) would be no problem; the problem is to ACTUALLY find a vehicle that will suit our needs at the moment. I am very discouraged and frankly, afraid of loosing my job if my husband and I don’t find a good vehicle soon. Advise and/or personal experiences would be great. If your wondering why I don't physically go look at car dealerships, its because we have ONE dealership here where I live.They are WAY over priced and thier vehicals break faster then a freshly sharpened penciel point.
