Retail Sales (commissioned)

Starting $7.95
If you are good at sales, customer service, interpersonal skills: expect approx $15-$17
After 2-3 years $20-$25
I know someone making $45-$50 per hour in a retail sales job!

Agreed, Iceberg.

Depending on the dept. & store you are in, you could make that kind of money.

For sales guys who sell to corporate companies, etc. the salaries range from $2500 to $5000 per month (more of entry level or couple of years experience). Ofcourse for immigrants, the experience level could vary from 10-20 years for this kind of pay - if you are lucky to get this kind of job.

also what do big retail stores like walmart/ikea etc pay?

iceberg/rajand---when u say people in retail stores might make upto 40-50$ hr could u give some examples of what kind of stores these are and names. and what kind of experience r they looking for in education/exp aprt from gud english and communication skills/confidence etc what else matters.
does it help to do any course in canada which might help in getting the high paying retail jobs?
also what do sales jobs pay..entry level like key account management etc? are they easy to get? what education is required there? does a course in canada help getting these jobs?

does experiance in retail/sales industry in India help at all??
and is toronto the best city among vancouver/montreal/halifax for retail/sales/call centre jobs?

Easy or tough - I cannot answer for you. Some people just walk through while some really deserving do not get a job. I do not know what is enuf for you. But based on the ranges in my earlier post you have to decide and plan your budget. But having said that, a single guy can manage within $1500-$1800 p.m.

Mostly these stores pay hourly rates. Start with $7.5 and may be $10

Names like Future Shop, Leons, The Brick, Sony Store, Sleep Country, Sears and many more. But remember $45 is not common but is being made by some guys. More realistic figure would be $20-$25 in 2-3 years of time. Some previous exposure to reatil or B2B would help perform well in the job. To get into a retail job I do not think any retail experience is necessary but can help.

Yes

and is toronto the best city among vancouver/montreal/halifax for retail/sales/call centre jobs?

For retail GTA / Southern Ontario is preferable.
