B&M job?
 

Not sure if this is the right place for this thread, if it isn't im sorry mods don't hate me!

So i really want to find a job at a local B&M. Hard part is, they don't need much help around the shop i would assume. So my question is, what would be the best way of doing this and getting a job at a B&M?

Re: B&M job?
 

Just like any other job, tell them you have knowledge of the product and ask if they need any help.

If I was looking for someone to work in a tobacconist store I own, I would personally look for friendliness, people skills, and a pretty respectable knowledge base.

As someone looking for a job I would most certainly have a resume on hand.

I'm just assuming they don't need an extra hand since B&M's are so small usually.

You can always become a regular and try to sneak on into the staff over time. ;)

That's what I did.

Worked for me too! :D

I would try that route... worst case, you get in with them all and get "friendly" prices!!

this is what I was going to recommend. I've been thinking about approaching the owner of my neighborhood shop to offer my knowledge and friendly demeanor on the weekends. not really because I want extra money, but just because I enjoy talking about cigars. hell, I'd work there just for the fun of it. I always end up making recommendations and selling cigars for them whenever I'm in their shop anyway.

Damn, you sound like my clone!

Re: B&M job?
 

Best route.

Re: B&M job?
 

that's my plan as well. I don't need a job, and the wif probably won't let me, but I would love to work there at least 1 night a week...

Re: B&M job?
 

Yup, thats what I did. I had to stop "working" there unfortunately, as time just didn't allow. But, I still get "staff" pricing :)

awesome thanks for all the replies and help guys!

Re: B&M job?
 

How many shops are within your commuting range?

You could offer a reduced rate of employment as hook to get you in. My hunch is most places are not active looking for people due to the economy. A good guy willing to work cheap is a good prospect rather than someone that knows it all and wants their worth.

Others have mention the general skills and aptitude required.

If I ever lose my job, thats the first place I'm going to look for a job... a cigar bar.
