Bookseller/seller difference?
Hey, what's the difference between a salesperson and a bookseller? Booksellers do almost exactly the same thing: they order books for customers, receive the goods when they arrive, sort them, put them away, and resell them.
Why then can you become a normal salesperson with a secondary school diploma, while booksellers usually only need a vocational college diploma?
I only have a secondary school diploma, I'm almost 25 now and haven't had the chance to get my degree yet, but I can no longer work in a trade because of my scoliosis.
I enjoy reading and write a few things myself, so being a bookseller would be ideal for me. I also want to get my degrees through distance learning, but I would still need a job. Especially since I'll be expecting two children soon, starting mid-next year.
Do you think I could apply to a bookstore? Or are my chances really zero?

Hey,
The difference between a seller and a book retailer lies mainly in their specialized tasks and the necessary expertise:
1. **Seller**: This is a general term for persons working in different retail sectors and selling goods or services. Sellers can operate in a variety of shops, from clothing and electronics to food. Their main tasks include customer consulting, goods presentation, cash management and warehouse management.
Two. **Book dealer**: A book retailer is a specialized seller who focuses on the sale of books and related products (e.g. magazines, e-books). Book retailers often need a deeper knowledge of literature and publishing. Their tasks include, in addition to the general activities of a seller, the advice of customers regarding books and authors, the organizing of readings and events, as well as the creation of new books according to interests and trends.
As far as training is concerned, it is in fact in Germany that, as a rule, a middle school degree (real school degree) is required for training as a book retailer. For further positions or specialized further training in the book trade, the specialist abitur (high-school qualification) could be of advantage, but it is not absolutely necessary to start training as a book retailer.

Thanks for the answer. Are you a book retailer? How are the chances to get in there as a cross-comer with the main school degree?
I would like to work there for 5 years and, by the way, retrieve the degrees and after 5 years you can do the exam before the chambers to get his training. So you skip through the way the training. That’s what’s going on.
Since I am 25 now (end of the week) and from the middle of the year I have my second child, I would be unhappy to start training as I need the money.
No, I’m not, but the chances of being able to gain a foothold are not bad.
You could ask at the job center, or even better, at local or local book retailers. where you want to join and if you have a passion for books, I could imagine that they would like to hire you, LG. 🙂
Thanks for the star and a lot of success, press the thumbs that it works, LG. 🙂
So Pica, as far as I know, must make a book retailer or a book retailer with us that women, :-), grins, also read books. If someone wants to have criminals, she must know, or if someone wants to know what about a particular author, she must know. So read them. And they need to know their place, you have to look too little. There it stands and there it stands. Although much is ordered. Remember to read the other :-)))
You are absolutely right and I am always intrigued when I go to our bookshop, GLG.
A book retailer expects him to be read. There are also less and less bookstores.
