Occupation Profile for Retail Salespersons

Sell merchandise, such as furniture, motor vehicles, appliances, or apparel in a retail establishment.

Good employment opportunities are expected because of the need to replace the large number of workers who leave the occupation each year.
Most salespersons work evenings and weekends, particularly during sales and other peak retail periods.
Employers look for people who enjoy working with others and who have tact, patience, an interest in sales work, a neat appearance, and the ability to communicate clearly.
