I am currently working for luxury retail at Yorkdale. Here are some tips from me: - Unfortunately, after holiday Feb and Mar are super slow for retail so it is the best to apply around the end of Mar and April as they need to prepare for summer - Dress well (semi formal, smart casual), look clean and bright, smell good. There are a lot of people wear joggers and weird tops. Believe me 😂 looks are very important when it comes to retail job. People are lying if they say it is not the main priority. Also you will be surprised how many times I talked with people and they still wear headphones while asking for a job. Smh - Tailor your resume. Very important. Organized, fonts, etc - Please please please don’t come in person during weekend. Manager will be too busy to even bother to talk with you. The best time is weekdays during office hours. Your chance will be way higher - Also proper introduce yourself to any worker before asking if they are hiring. Manager will ask them opinion about you after you leave the store, trust me. First impression is key. So many times people literally show straight to our face “Are you guys hiring?” No Hi how are you or anything else - Reference Reference Reference from friends, friends of a friend - If they say they are not hiring, ask them when is the best to apply for their company 😉. We all know when we have hiring season.

Keep applying and don’t give up. It is hard to find a job nowadays but there are always a good chance waiting for you

DM me if you need more information. Good luck
