Door to Door Salesmen

‹ ›

Sell goods or services door-to-door or on the street.

Good employment opportunities are expected because of the need to replace the large number of workers who leave the occupation each year.
Many salespersons work evenings and weekends, particularly during peak retail periods.
Employers look for people who enjoy working with others and who have good communication skills, an interest in sales work, a neat appearance, and a courteous demeanor.
Although advancement opportunities are limited, having a college degree or a great deal of experience may help retail salespersons move into management positions.
