Are you a people person?

"To be in retail, you have to be a people-person. I demonstrate this by being helpful and taking the time to get to know my customers. I also dedicate time to the success of my team through mentorship and coaching opportunities. Those around me must be set up for success. I genuinely care about other people and their achievements."

This question should be pretty simple for you to answer. If you want to work in retail, then the answer is YES - you are a people person! A people person is someone who does not find it draining to be around others all day. Someone naturally helpful and approachable. If possible, give the interviewer an example of a time when your people skills were impeccable.

"Yes, I am certainly a people person. I love being around others, meeting new people, and helping where I can. I have been in customer-facing roles for a few years including my time as a bartender. I have always proven to be a friendly face to my customers."
