What does PT Sales mean?

Question

I’m 18, currently attending college, and looking for a job. I don’t have any prior work experience, but with the holidays approaching, I’ve noticed that many places are hiring seasonal staff. While searching for job applications online, I’ve come across positions labeled as "PT Sales." I believe this stands for "Part-Time Sales," but I’m curious—what exactly does a part-time sales associate do, especially in fashion retail stores like Forever 21, Nordstrom, Ann Taylor, and similar places?

Part time sales means that sometimes you do sales, sometimes you do other things like stocking, cashier, or cleaning up.

If you do not do well during the sales time, then they will not keep you. So you must be good at sales, good with rude and unreasonable customers.

otherwise, look for something else.

Very unlikely. Car sales is typically a 40+ hr (closer to 60) position. How would you learn the product? How will you keep up with inventory? How are you going to stay current with incentives, bonuses, etc? Are you willing to forgo your commission when the customer comes back to buy & you’re not there? I knew of one example where a college student worked PT (still 30+ hrs, 6 days a week). He worked his way up in the dealership, starting as a Porter. When school wasn’t in session, he put in 40+ hrs. P.S. The dealership went out of business.

It means it’s a part time sales position. Can’t really be much clearer than that. You will be a salesperson. You will work part time only.

part time
means you will get “scheduled” less than 40 hrs a week so the store does not have to offer you any benefits like health care… you may actually end up working a lot more hrs, but you will be considered a part time employee working over time
