I do not know a huge amount about the pharmaceutical industry, but I know FMCG and health products that reach the retail industry. How to market them, creating strategies and pricing ,placing through products to create customer awareness and ultimate strategies to launch products and ensure sales of products. I have worked on various projects in Game that successfully launched new product innovations in conjunction with key suppliers. An example is the launch of the Pampers pull on pants that P and G and Game launched together in the retail market before any other chain was on it. There are other similar launches and all was a success. If you want your brand to grow and penetrative the current market I have the skills to achieve this.

Being employed in the company for 28 years has allowed me to gain a myriad of knowledge and skills.
A typical work day consists of analyzing advertisements , checking product pricing to ensure accuracy, confirming that stock is available for sale and or promotions. In addition; dealing with foreign merchandise(imports) and assisting the buyers as they require. Relationship with co-workers are professional and civil, I can work efficiently with or without co-workers. Working closely with a Buyer has allowed me to equip myself with such skills of a buyer; such as negotiation skills, leadership skills and time management. What I find most difficult about my job is issues of stock availability and breakdowns in communication with regards to adverts for the Africa division; due to our department's practice of signing off adverts 3 months prior. My job is to most extents very analytical; I very much enjoy ensuring the correctness of the advertisements and its corresponding stocks.
Pros: The company always had training and development courses for its employees
Cons: Extensive working hours

An amazing company
My working experience with Massdiscounters was an amazing and beautiful one. The culture was on another level all together. Unfortunately because of the company moving to Gauteng I had to take my retrenchment package. I have learnt everything I know from the company, the different systems we worked on and the different courses that I have done with the company had helped me grow from strength to strength. I was given many opportunities in my company to grow from an amateur to a professional within the business.
Pros: Always given a chance to grow
Cons: Always worked up pressure with minimal staff

Was a great atmosphere to work in
My week entails a lot of deadlines together with tasks that come up that are urgent. Attention to detail in all tasks is mandatory. Considering that I work without the supervision of a buyer/manager, decisions need to be made using both experience and wisdom. To me I see this as a challenge to work under pressure where usually deadlines are met timeously. Since I have the ability to liaise with all levels of people in the work place, this makes my tasks to complete, more easy. The joy and strength of colleagues all around me is a strength to pursue and push through difficult days.
Pros: People that I have always worked around makes the atmosphere to work in so much better. Experience gained is what I will always take with me. Altough always busy, my day is fullfilled.
Cons: Sometimes not recognized for efforts and work put into the job. With certain management what is said must be done accordingly, with no suggestions welcome.
