How can I get a job for working in a shopping mall?

I have also been intersted in shopping Malls, ever since I was younger. I have always been interested in the whole life cycle process of them. From planning, designing, construction, to managing and operating them.

Is there any where I can apply for jobs in the management of a shopping centre? or where I can work my way up as an office Junior?

thanks to all the people who answer my question :)

I think you would have to have a look around, a lot of shops advertise vacancies on their front doors or windows and also some will advertise in the local papers or job centres. I think it depends upon your work experience and qualifications as to what level you would be able to enter at, good luck in finding one xx

Best of luck.

Thanks.. shell get my cv's sent out to all the big ones.. but will be good to get experience from any of them to be honest.. even if they are small

when i was looking for a job i was looking in meadowhall in sheffield. they have a massive website and you apply through them. don't know whether that's any help but you might be able to search the net for vacancies in certain malls specifically rather than just looking genrally? most places now require letters/cv's sent straight to the main people/head office as opposed to just dropping by.
good luck and take care,

Thanks for that, much appreicated. I shell check out their website and get my cv and letter head straight to them. Even if it isnt specific, I should still look at what they got to offer on their jobs.

I just sent some more cvs, letter heads and emails out to some other malls in the south east of london.. : )
