MARC EDWARD AGENCY

Some days are good some days not so much.

The way it works here is you are appointed to different counters to work at anywhere in the metropolitan area. Depending on what your interests and abilities are, for example I said im a makeup and hair artist so i was constantly working in Myer / David Jones counters for brands like Benefit cosmetics, YSL, Dior, Lancome etc. There's hardly any makeup work involved you're literally employed to sell SELL SELL. So if you're really into retail and sales this would be a good job for you. The work / life balance is great because you can say YES and NO to shifts whenever you want. This was actually my first makeup job and I was able to work alot of events for a few brands so i did gain some experience and its helped me get to where i am today. The only down side to this is you dont get HEAPS of hours and when you do it can very last minute, sometimes youll get a call/email the night before asking if you can work tomorrow, someones on the day even, or sometimes a weeks notice, you never know.

My manager was efficient and helpful.
No regular work was available. I was sent to work locations within my area and the city.
I re-packaged products. 1- was briefed on the job over the phone and emailed instructions.
Next; collected all merchandising materials from the office.Phoned the department stores to advise of dates and times that i would be working at their store.
Confirmed the day before working there that all was ok.  
Arrived, signed into the store. proceeded to the section. Took before, during and after photos of stock and displays including re-packaging. filled out paperwork and count for marc edwards agencies.
Emailed all photos to agency.
Signed out of store.
called my manager re the work situation in-store.

The work involves travel to different departments stores across Sydney, such as Myers, David Jones, Woolworths and Others. Staff are assigned a Cosmetic brand, which we receive a short period of training for. The tasks is  to increase sales for that brand in Department stores, and to promote the product. It is a very mobile job, and allows you to meet a lot of different people, however the downside is that you don't have a proper management because you continue to change work sites. It is a fun, interactive work environment to be in, as you are the front-line of sales. If you enjoy working with people and want cash over the Christmas period, it is a good place to start from.

Account mangers are very supportive. They are happy to know when will you be free and help you to set up shifts for that time. although it is not always a lot of shifts, but I was a student, it was quiet suitable for me. The pay was not bad and you can get a chance to work with big brand which can really help you to gain some valuable customer service experiences, and it is a good start point for job seekers who wanted to work in retail.

A typical day at work would be hitting sales targets that are given by the manager. Working in Parramatta for me is so much fun. Everyone helps out each other, and the working culture is so fun and positive.

Setting up displays, meeting and greeting customers. Selling the product that is on display and giving out samples. all with targets to meet. The is no difficulty in this role, but I do enjoy the meeting and greeting of customers and selling the product with success.

Fun enviroment,, working at your own pace. was working in the beauty section of the company, giving out beauty advise and perfume testers. the hardest part of the job was providing feedback to the company at the end of the day if you did not speak to the minimum customers required

work at department stores(travel here and there)
adjustable roaster
busy season VS quite season
kind and fast replies to my inquiries
build my career from scratch

Learnt a great deal about exceptional customer service.
And the workplace culture is fun and customer-focused.
A typical day at work is about presenting oneself as immaculate.

There is always the opportunity to pick up a lot of shifts and casual work - especially great for a university student or someone with another part time job. 

It is a flexible role and you get to work across a lot of different brands should you choose to be trained on them.
