Sales assistants work in retail environments such as shops, supermarkets, and department stores. Their main role is to help customers find what they need, answer questions about products, process sales at the till, and ensure that shelves are stocked and displays are attractive. A typical day might involve helping customers choose items, handling payments, dealing with returns, and keeping the shop tidy. This role requires good communication skills, patience, and a friendly manner. Some sales assistants may also have the opportunity to progress to supervisory or management roles with experience.
