Poll

When people give advice about job searching, I always hear that experience matters. But I have always wondered what matter kind of experience employers look for more. In the corporate world, what transfers better - retail experience or serving/restaurant industry. Both have pros and cons. Retail experience means more knowledge of sales goals, better with numbers and inventory. But servers have a lot of exposure to the customer service aspect of working and deal with multi tasking more day to day. Since I have never worked as a waitress and my work experience is strictly retail and other odd jobs, I have always wondered. If two applicants interview for a job, and one has only retail experience, the other has only serving, who has the better chance at landing the job?
