How long should I stay in a store management role?
"I would always advise staying in a store management role for at least eighteen months to two years before looking for a promotion or a move outside of your current business. It is very important to see the procedures, commercial decisions and the training and development of the team that you have put into place over a sustained period of time. It is also key to compare your sales results from one year to the next and this of course could be a potential key selling point for yourself when being interviewed internally or externally in future."
