My job required that I have a flexible life, in that we had to travel to different towns to carry out the stock taking task. Me and my team mates had to work as a team at all time, tackling different aspects of the task individually so that we could cover more work at the end of the day. We pulled together. It took a lot of positive energy and courage to report to work daily, as carrying heavy boxes and standing all day was strenuous. This experience taught me about work-ethic, concentration and organizational skills. It was fun working with a team that kept each other motivated and I enjoyed seeing different towns.
Pros: Bookkeeping skills, admin skills.
Cons: Not Mentally Challenging

Solid and proper retail organization. Leader in fashion and international Brands.
Dynamic, fast moving and leader is fashion retail. Days are always different as a buyer you are being guided by the sales trends and what is happening in the market place. Relationships are key as our roles and responsibilities are inter linked as buyers and planners, assistants and general managers, marketing and operations. Have learnt that the most fundamental thing in an organization is communication,, process management, stakeholder management and most importantly, its ALWAYS about the customer. Range building process, traveling abroad to view fashion trends and developing these tends into SA market. The rand/dollar exchange has been the most challenging factor, as importers.
Pros: Greg exposure in predicting sales trends, good market analysis of consumer behavior.
Cons: Can be stressful due to fast moving pace of business.
