A Different Ball Game
Working for Nicche Electronics I have surprisingly made a Name for myself with all our Suppliers in the High end Audio Visual Technical Industry. I do the Software Programming on Russound, Rako Light Automation, setting up Security Passwords and Usernames on TP Links. I also extract information and footage from CCTV Surveillance Cameras. I have completed a course on URC which is an Advanced Network System Controller and although it is completely out of my comfort zone, I make it my own. I love travelling and working on client sites and the flexibility of the job. I work at a mobile office which is any coffee shop or Internet Cafe I choose. I've had an opportunity to combine all my skills in Administration, Sales, Managerial, Training and Networking to implement and change the game in what is known as a "Mans' World."
Pros: Endless learning and business opportunities.
Cons: Hardly any females in the industry.

Excellent 15 years retail experience
Currently I am not employed, Edcon is the last company I worked for which I left 2011 working for myself. Now I am eager to continue my field in retail. The salary I put was the salary I was getting in 2011 as store manager. Currently I am studying LLB with Unisa. I still am very passionate about retail and I would bring a lot of skill to the company. I worked very well with my team, line managers and regional team. I am very influential in system discipline, visual merchandise and stores layout plans. I am a good teacher of the succession plans and always eager to learn new things Thank you
Pros: Retail gives good succession for eager staff
Cons: Holiday working which I am used to
