Problem solving

Customers can be difficult and demanding but they are the reason we have jobs. Multi-tasking is required as i need to send spreadsheets daily, manage switch board, help my staff members and handle customer's quiries. Challenges demand strength hence i enjoy learning how to get through the day by learning and being able to put a smile on my face while feeling like exploding. Dealing with spreadsheet helps me delegate and gives me more experiece about computer. Then organising functions once a year for oir customers makes it more easy to understand customers. Every day its a learning day!!

Pros: Delegation and Time Management
Cons: Sacrifising but not being appreciated

Retail

A typical work day is extremely busy and fast tracked. I get along with all my co-workers, although some of them has a lack of professionalism and work ethic which affects me every so often. I have learnt to have a lot of patience and management skills. The most challenging aspects is having to work very long hours, weekends and public holidays. Retail is exhausting. The lack of professionalism and work ethic of some of my co-workers does impacts me daily, because that is not how I work and that is not how I was thought.

Pros: Great benefits
Cons: Long working hours, working weekends
