Best place to learn how retail companies work.
I am a very dedicated, self- motivated person who loves a challenge. One of my key strength is that I always give my best and have the ability to work well under pressure. I have good communication skills, team work and easy to learn or adopt to new tasks. I am currently working as a Scheduling Consultant. My responsibility is to make sure that 500 casual (weekly) and 300 permanent part timers (monthly) in more than 40 store are scheduled and assigned correctly.
Pros: Great Opportunities in overall
Cons: less earnings

My work experience
A typical work day, start off with a to do list once that is complete. I send the buyers the daily sales doc. Emails are always checked to make sure that all amendments are completed before the end of the day in regards to cost changes as well as delivery dates. According to my to do list I complete every task that's on there for the day. I have a good relationship with my co-workers we are all like a family here. I have learnt so much in the 7 years I have been at Edcon from all the admin work I have to do, to building ranges and communicating with suppliers , briefing them and negotiating costs. The best part of my job is working with product and getting to learn more about the fabrications that are used across different styling. Building ranges for the different seasons. Most challenging aspect is making sure that the correct product is put into stores and it is actually what the customer wants and will buy.
Pros: Getting to do what i love and actually making a living
Cons: Long working hours
