They pay you just enough to keep you there, and not enough for all the headaches! I went from retail management to semi truck and trailer sales. Even those places are being taken over by the retail ideas. Good luck Once you get in to retail management it is hard to get out of it.

Or maybe he could nicely tell his current employer that he's only available from 9 to 5, and he'll find a new job if they can't accomodate him. If he's a valued employee, they might work with him.

Make sure the job objective is specific for the job you're answering (even if you have to change that line each time). Emphasize how his experience directly relates to the job he's seeking. Also, he may have to settle for a job at a lower level than he is aiming for - for example, even though he was in retail management, he won't get a job as a sales manager until he learns how to sell. I would go to a recruiter and let them review the resume' and make other suggestions. You need to review his resume’.

Make sure the resume highlights the strengths your husband has gained through retail managment. And make sure each resume has a powerful cover letter that briefly states why he is an outstanding candidate for the job. Make sure his resume is changed for each job application to show how his past experience will match the current position.http://www.careercc.com/resumpr.shtml#Co... I’d focus on the resumes.

You can do a search online for executive recruiters. I am having a similar dilemna. Most managers get so many resumes from a job ad that they place that they don't have to look at anyone who does not have all the skills they are looking for. Good luck! Keep looking. You'll find something. I think a good recruiter should be able to help you. You can do a search online for executive recruiters. I am having a similar dilemna.

Often the ability o manage people across the board is valuable. Also, if it is simply the schedule that is the issue, what about a smaller store that accommodates the hours? Many Christian book stores, etc. have mon-fri 9-6p, and limited weekend hours. Of course, there is going to be a pay cut when you leave the big box environment...

There may be some training he needs to obtain to change careers. Look at the job skills that are in demand. Some of these like those in health care require shift work. As a manager, I never work 09-1700. I try to go in early and get home for evening time with my child.
