There are few requirements to get a job as a courtesy clerk or a cashier. You should have a friendly personality and basic math skills, but you receive most of the training on the job. Working as a bookkeeper may require a bachelor's degree in accounting or prior experience handling money. Department and store managers also need a bachelor's degree and experience within their department, as well as leadership skills. Additional qualifications include physical stamina, as you are often standing, walking, and lifting items, and excellent customer service skills.
