becoming a manager
in 9 to 5
So i am so tired of having entry level jobs like being a cashier or sales associate. I want to better myself & career. I have never been a manager but I do have skill and i am willing to learn and do what ever it takes to become some kind of manager, but a lot of place require you have been a manager before. How do become a manager if you have never been one before. How do I play myself up I want to be in a leader role. I am 25(almost going to be 26) I am tired of having a 'teenager" like job. i want a grown up job. I am currently a cashier at petco and have been with them for a little more than a year. I want a full time job and to be a manager or something. I eventually want to get into child care but have to get some schooling so until then I want a managers position. So i guess my question is how do i get that kind of job if a lot of places say they want that managing experience. help?
Re: becoming a manager
Being a leader/manager isn't about someone handing you power, though. It's often the result of someone acting like a leader, going above the required task and then helping others. It's being trustworthy of more responsibility. It's knowing the job/work so well that others naturally look to you for guidance and ideas. It's having the confidence to think through a challenge, execute the work, then be open to criticism without becoming childish or defensive.
People don't become managers because they're sick of doing their boring checkout job and want power and money. They do so because they rocked out at their checkout job without complaining, showing irresponsibility, or cutting corners.
Most people that are managers have moved up and been promoted from those "entry level" jobs. People just don't become managers without hard work and dedication.
Also a lot of places require the managers to have some sort of degree. You need to go to school if you really want a better job than being a cashier or sales assoc.
Until you get back to school you'll likely end up stuck with the same jobs.
