Atleast the current job, no matter how much you might not like it - it will benefit you, experience-wise.Obviously theres a lot of unemployment going on right now, so you might find if you give up this job it could be a regrettable decision as you may not be able to get another for a while. Consider yourself lucky your one of the few of us out there with a job to go to.

Anyway, if your talking about the clothes (I don't fully understand your question, it was a bit non-specific) if it's compulsary to wear them, and you don't like them.. well that sucks, but I suppose you can pull together the best of the store's stock that you can find and put it together with some accessories from shops you DO like, and make a cute outfit. Nothing is impossible, you just have to be creative!

Anyway, to sum up.. don't quit your job because of a fact like that, although it might sound like a good idea now, when your 2 weeks down the new found road of unemployment, i guarantee you'll be regretting your decision if the prospect of a new job isnt on the horizon. Your best bet is to get applying now, if you manage to get a better job, take it.

I wouldn't worry too much - I used to work in a Birkenstock shop, which some people consider to be pretty daggy-looking, but I found I just had to be creative, and selective, in what shoes I chose to wear from the range and how I styled them, and I ended up really loving the looks I put together!
It is still valuable experience which you could use to get a better job one day.

I hated it as half my pay went on buying clothes that i didnt always love. Even when i got the clothes at 50% off it still burnt a massive hole in my wallet. I ended up buying basic singlets/tees and just mixing it up with accessories.

- Kinderegg which store are you applying for?

I've applied for Harbour Town Perth, their looking for Casuals (or Part time?), though I'm quite sure they haven't actually opened up yet. I did go down there today, but I didn't see Factorie. Then again I was in a bit of a rush :P

Not sure if the website lists when they open; but i'd imagine they'd be conducting interviews in the near future.. hopefully i get short listed! :D
