Internet Store Managers and Entrepreneurs

Employment Prospects

Employers

Internet store managers may work for an established traditional business or institution that also has a Web site that offers products and services. The manager may also work for a business that only has a presence on the Web or for an Internet entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are self-employed, and sometimes they employ people to work for them. Some Internet entrepreneurs are hired to begin a business for someone else.

There are many leading Internet sales companies today and opportunities for working for them continue to increase. Finding an entry-level job in sales and marketing may be somewhat easier than finding and obtaining a management position.

Starting Out

Professionals in the field advise those just starting out to work for someone else to gain experience in the business world before launching their own business. The Internet is a good resource to use to find employment. There are many sites that post job openings. Local employment agencies and newspapers and trade magazines also list job opportunities. In addition, your college career services office should be able to provide you with help locating a job. Networking with college alumni and people in your computer users groups may also provide job leads.
