Career Website Shows Struggling Students That Retail Offers Meaningful Work Experience
As graduation and summer-time approaches, thousands of students are anxious about their career prospects. While opportunities in retail are abundant, for many, the sector is seen as a last resort. That's why TalentEgg.ca is shining a special light on the Retail sector this week, highlighting meaningful career paths within the industry.
Toronto, Canada, March 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- As the academic year winds down and summer job hunting heats up, thousands of university and college students are scrambling to find meaningful, paid summer employment.
For most, opportunities in the retail sector - as sales associates or serving prepared food and drinks at restaurants and coffee shops - are seen as a last resort.

This is why TalentEgg.ca, Canada's career hub for students and recent grads, is dedicating an entire week to the meaningful career opportunities in retail. March 22-26, 2010, is TalentEgg's Focus on Retail.
