I used to get handed about 5 resumes a day and I was mad busy doing 12 hour days. A lot of Those resumes got folded up and left in suit pockets for up to 2 weeks when I put them on again, lost or just thrown away eventually. Try to avoid cliches on your resume "passion for fashion" makes my eyes roll.

Thanks, good advice. I'll go for the big ones for sure, but with the dollar climbing and the job market already not great it's going to be tough for a guy with not much retail experience and none at all in the clothing biz, even if I probably know more about clothing than quite a few salesmen who work at those stores. I'll give it a go though, BR wouldn't be so bad but I would gouge my eyes out if I had to sell the clothing at The Gap.

SarOx compliance consultant. I'm as exciting as an accountant with the soul of a lawyer.
