When people think of jobs in a jewellery showroom, they picture the well-dressed consultant behind the counter. But a busy Tanishq store cannot run for one hour without the people you never see on the floor: the inventory assistant who reconciles every piece against the stock register, the packing staff who prepare gift boxes and service dispatches, the helpers who keep counters and lockers in order, and the back-office team that handles paperwork. These roles are open to candidates with 10th or 12th pass, need no selling experience, and give a stable start in organised retail. This guide is written for that candidate.
If you are a 10th or 12th pass student, a school leaver who wants a steady monthly salary, or someone returning to work after a gap, read on to understand what these roles involve, the approximate pay, how to apply, and how to grow from a support role into better-paid positions.
Why Jewellery Stores Need Strong Support Staff
A jewellery store holds stock worth crores in a small space. Every piece is tagged, weighed and tracked. When a customer buys a necklace, the system must reduce stock, the tag must be removed and filed, the piece must be cleaned, packed and handed over, and the day’s movement must match the register at closing. When a customer brings a ring for resizing, it must be logged, sealed and sent to the service centre, then tracked until it returns. Errors are expensive, so stores value careful, disciplined support staff almost as much as good salespeople.
That is also why these jobs exist in every store, from a large flagship in a metro to a smaller franchise showroom in a district town. Each store typically needs several support people, and festival seasons add more.
Support Roles Open to 10th and 12th Pass Candidates
Inventory / Stock Assistant
Counts trays at opening and closing, tags new arrivals, records transfers between stores, and helps during monthly and surprise audits. You will use a barcode scanner and the store’s software. Patience and attention to detail are more important than speed.

Packing and Dispatch Staff
Prepares jewellery for handover in branded boxes and bags, packs items sent to the service or repair centre, seals and labels parcels, and maintains the dispatch register. During Dhanteras and Diwali, this desk becomes one of the busiest in the store.
Store Helper / Housekeeping Support
Keeps display counters, mirrors and trays spotless, serves water or tea to customers, manages the waiting area, and supports the team during peak hours. A friendly attitude here directly improves customer experience.
Back Office Assistant
Files invoices, scheme documents and customer forms, helps with data entry, coordinates courier pickups and keeps supplies such as tags, boxes and bill rolls stocked. Basic computer knowledge is useful.
Repair and Service Desk Support
Receives pieces for polishing, resizing or repair, writes the job card, explains the expected return date and informs the customer when the item is ready. This role is a good bridge between support work and customer-facing work.
Eligibility
- 10th pass for helper, packing and housekeeping support.
- 12th pass for inventory, back office and service desk roles (commerce or computer knowledge is a plus).
- Minimum age 18; physically fit enough to stand and move through a long shift.
- Willingness to follow strict security procedures, including bag checks and locker rules.
- Availability on weekends and festival days.
Approximate Salary Ranges
These are commonly advertised ranges for comparable retail support jobs in India, not official Tanishq salaries. City, store size and franchise ownership all change the figure. The offer letter is the only number to rely on.
| Role | Minimum qualification | Approximate monthly pay |
|---|---|---|
| Store helper / housekeeping | 10th pass | ₹17,000 – ₹22,000 |
| Helper with experience | 10th / 12th pass | ₹19,000 – ₹27,000 |
| Packing and dispatch | 10th / 12th pass | ₹19,000 – ₹27,000 |
| Inventory / stock assistant | 12th pass | ₹19,000 – ₹27,000 |
| Service desk / reception support | 12th pass | ₹20,000 – ₹29,000 |
Support staff may also receive a share of festival incentives in some stores. Ask whether this applies during your interview.
Skills You Can Build Before Applying
- Basic computer use: typing, simple spreadsheets and data entry. A short course at a local centre is enough.
- Counting and record-keeping: practise reconciling lists – it is the core of inventory work.
- Neat packing: careful handling and clean presentation matter for a premium brand.
- Communication: polite Hindi or the local language; basic English reading for labels and forms.
- Discipline: punctuality and following procedure every single time.
A Day in the Life of an Inventory Assistant
Ravi (an example, not a real employee) reaches the store thirty minutes before opening. With the store manager and a consultant, he opens the strong room, counts every tray against the register and signs the opening sheet. After that he tags a new consignment of light-weight earrings that arrived the previous evening, scanning each piece into the system. Around noon he helps the service desk seal two rings going for resizing. The afternoon is quieter, so he prepares the weekly stock-ageing report. In the evening rush he supports the floor by fetching trays from the strong room. At closing, the full count is repeated, the register is signed again and the strong room is locked. It is not glamorous, but it is steady, respected and teaches the business from the inside.
How to Apply
- Check the Titan Company careers page for store and support openings – Tanishq is Titan’s jewellery brand.
- Visit your nearest showroom on a weekday morning and ask whether support or festival-season roles are open. Franchise stores often hire locally.
- Register for retail apprenticeships and trainee schemes on the Apprenticeship India portal; retail trainee programmes are a recognised entry route for 10th and 12th pass candidates.
- Keep a simple one-page resume with your education, any work experience (even part-time), languages and your phone number.
Selection Process
Short interview
The store manager or HR will ask about your background, why you want to work in a jewellery store, and whether you can work weekends.
Practical check
Inventory candidates may be asked to count and match a list; back-office candidates may get a small data-entry task.
Verification
Because of the value of stock, address and reference verification is standard before joining.
Documents Checklist
- Aadhaar card and PAN card
- 10th and/or 12th marksheet
- Passport-size photographs
- Bank passbook or cancelled cheque
- Address proof and two references
Your Rights as a Support Employee
Support roles are full jobs with the same statutory protection as sales roles. You should be registered for provident fund – check contributions on the EPFO portal – and, if your wages are within the limit, for ESI medical cover on the ESIC website. Confirm your weekly off, overtime rules during festivals and uniform policy in writing.
From Support Role to Sales Floor: Growth Path
| Starting role | Common next step | What helps |
|---|---|---|
| Helper | Packing / service desk | Reliability, neat work |
| Packing staff | Inventory assistant | Computer skills, accuracy |
| Inventory assistant | Sales trainee or back-office executive | Product knowledge, communication |
| Service desk | Customer relationship executive | Handling customers calmly |
Many experienced consultants started in support roles. Learning the product from the stock side – weights, purity marks, tag codes – gives you an advantage when you move to the counter.
Practical Tips for Your First Month
- Carry a small notebook for procedures; ask once, write it down, never ask twice.
- Learn to read the hallmark: the BIS logo, purity grade and HUID. The Bureau of Indian Standards site explains it simply.
- Never carry any piece out of a designated area, even for a minute.
- Arrive early on audit days; managers notice.
Understanding Audits – the Part Nobody Tells You About
Jewellery stores are audited far more often than ordinary shops. There are daily counts, monthly stock audits, and surprise checks by regional teams or the franchise owner. For support staff, audit days are when your work is most visible. An inventory assistant whose register matches the physical stock to the last earring builds a reputation quickly; one whose records need correction every month does not last long.
Before an audit, the team usually freezes stock movement, prints the stock list and counts tray by tray, piece by piece, often weighing items to confirm they match the tag. Differences are investigated immediately. If you are new, your job is to follow the senior’s instructions exactly, call out counts clearly and never move a piece without saying so. Treat audits as a chance to learn the product range: you will handle every design in the store in a single day.
Shift Timings, Leave and Festival Duty
Most showrooms open late morning and close late evening, so support staff usually work a single long shift or a rotating early/late roster. One weekly off is standard, usually on a weekday because weekends are busy. During the main festival weeks leave is commonly restricted and hours may stretch; well-run stores compensate with overtime pay, comp-offs or a festival incentive. Ask the manager how this works before you accept – a clear answer is a good sign of an organised employer.
Is a Jewellery Store Better Than a Supermarket Job?
For a 10th or 12th pass candidate, supermarket and jewellery-store support jobs pay in a similar range. The jewellery store usually offers a cleaner, quieter, air-conditioned environment, fewer customers per hour, more training on procedures, and a premium brand on your resume. The trade-offs are stricter security, closer supervision and less flexibility on leave in festival months. If you are careful and like structured work, the jewellery store is often the better long-term choice.
Fake Recruitment Warning
Messages offering “direct joining in Tanishq” for a fee are fraud. Genuine stores never charge for interviews, uniforms or ID cards. Report suspicious numbers on Sanchar Saathi and do not share OTPs or bank details.
