Title: Co-Manager / Store Director in Training
Field/Industry: Retail - Food

Reporting to a Store Director, Alec will have P&L responsibility for a portion of store operations and function as manager for a team of up to 100 people. He will run the operation in the Director's absence. He's happy with his move, and with Job Market Access Center:

"The company is interested in my advancement and development. They will invest in my personal and professional growth and help me become a better leader and manager. The biggest obstacle was my lack of perishables experience. I overcame it by being up-front about it, and using a u-turn on them and expressing my knowledge in all other operating areas of the business.

"Gerry's coaching on interviewing and getting through the tough questions about my relevant experience and the lower sales volume in my store was most helpful. Also, my expertly written resume was found in a search on a job board by the recruiter who hooked me up with this company."

Alec mentioned several Job Market Access Center resources as helpful--the SOAR stories, the plan for developing interviews, the letters, resume distributions, and the Job Market Access Center for emerging and recruiter openings, growth firms and more.
