Harvey & Thompson
Thinking about your next career move? Whilst working for a pawnbroker might not be something you’ve previously considered, looks can be deceiving – and it’s a lot more nuanced than you might think.
As it’s likely you’ll deal with some difficult situations, excellent people skills are essential for this career. People who’ve fallen on hard times visit pawnbrokers to sell valuable, often sentimental items. So, as well as valuing precious metals, you’ll need to be sensitive to other people’s problems. For example, one employee explains that he offers tea and biscuits as well as a sympathetic ear when speaking with customers.
You typically don’t need formal qualifications to get started. But an empathetic attitude and adaptability are great qualities to showcase in your application.
Think you’ve got what it takes? Find out more about a career with Harvey & Thompson today.
