store manager

accounts payable clerk

Queenspark-Pty-Ltd

I am currently working half day and am desperately seeking a full time position in a fashion and retail environment. My typical day at work includes the following: checking all emails and responding to all supplier queries, costing negotiations, confirming and creating orders for suppliers, writing up style sheets, organising rails, preparing all samples in my department for any review, updating all records, chasing up samples and fit samples from suppliers, participating in fit sessions and comments on fit samples.

I have learnt how to work well with other people and how to deal with issues professionally and effectively. I have learnt and coherently understand the process of the buying industry. I have learnt how to deal with unforeseen circumstances and to reach the best possible outcome when things can go wrong. 

Management have an open door policy whereby we are easily able to speak to our seniors and have frequent meetings with them to touch base and to keep in touch with any queries and on track with all styles and samples. We have a friendly team and extremely helpful co workers here who are all willing to help each other and learn together. 

The hardest part of my job is ensuring that I stick to my timelines and make sure that all my work is complete before the end of my day. I only work half day and therefore have to ensure all my tasks are in a list of priority. 

The most enjoyable part of the job is learning about the new trends, placing new styles, adapting samples to suit our customer and being allowed to exercise my creativity and opinion and input.

A typical day at work would be arriving 15 minutes before your shift to receive your till, log in and get any other admin issues out of the way, thereafter you processed to the sales floor, sign in, get assigned an area to manage for the day and start helping clients.

I have learned to deal with upset clients, helping those who really need it, hoe to remain professional at all times and what it's like to be a leader and take on big responsibilities, as well as working with different people and the dynamics that comes with it.

Management and the co-workers at the time was like family, caring, understanding and reasonable.

The hardest part of my job was trying to  make your personal target for the day and month.

The parts I enjoyed the most was being able to learn and grow immensely from my time there, working with lots of different people and having some kind of authority. I also enjoyed packing out the new stock and rearranging the store, also stock-take  was enjoyable too.

My typical day at work starts with opening the store,reading and action emails,issuing cashiers float,making sure that the store is neat and tidy for trade,assigning staff to their departments,making sure that the fitting room,cash desk,admin office and floor is clean at all times(house keeping),doing teas and lunches for the staff,doing the admin filling and checking for missing signatures in the files.i have learned that team work is very important in this industry and customer focus and care is also important.The hardest part of my job is working on Sundays because i love church and holidays but i am used to it now.The most most enjoyable part of my job is making sore targets,driving the team and having so many competitions to drive each individual to meet and exceed their store target,and also interacting with customers and meeting new people with different qualities.

You would start your day at 07h15 and finish up about 16h15. You are assigned to a different department each week to run you through a daily life of a buyer. You sit in on meetings and range building. Store visits is required to keep up with customer needs. You sit in on supplier meeting to see how and why each print/fabric is selected. You analyse each product in store to see how it is preforming. You are busy the entire day and you learn so much. I would say the hardest part of the internship was to step in the shoes of the customer of Queenspark. The store attracts more of the older generation and you have to get in their mindset to verify whether or not this product will sell. The most enjoyable part is that everyone is very helpful and share as much tips as they can. Queenspark has a good name and I am proud to associate myself with this brand. They are very drawn to detail so you must double check you work before submitting it. Taught me a lot.

On a typical day we receive stock once a week every week and unpack the stock.
We all communicate and help each other we know we can always depend on one another.
We that each others culture very serious.
I am thankful for everything I have learned at my time at Queenspark, they don't mind sending you for training and improving your skills.
The hardest part for me is to deal with stock losses, there is nothing to do about it if you don't know who took it and what happened but i try my best to prevent it. 
The thing I enjoy most about my job is I get to work with people and help them choose out an outfit for special occasions.

Working at Queenspark was pleasant. Each day had a planned target and every employee worked towards it.
I have learned how to manage customers especially ones with queries or complains. The management team had fantastic communication and any grievances were dealt with immediately. The store manager exercised control and freedom of speech. However the hardest part of the job was actually meeting any target assigned to me due to the economic crisis and customer dissatisfaction of products. However the most enjoyable part of the job was seeing the satisfaction of a customer and knowing they walked out the store smiling because of me.

Being a part of the QUEENSPARK family taught me what it really means to look after your Team. For a good reason, the company  has been known by both employees and consumers for providing high-quality goods and personalized service. I was given the opportunity to learn a lot and my immediate management (Area Manager and Area Merchandiser) were always there for me. They were balancing in the most beneficial way for me and the company, between allowing me the space to prove and develop my managerial style and follow the vision and mission of QUEENSPARK. I find this admirable, and was grateful for it all.

Typical day at work, the only thing that i have to remember is why i am here.To make all our client happy, welcome and enjoy the environment.I learned how to deal with difficult client, malty task, team work.Co- workers _ communication, team work and honesty.Hardest part at work is leak of trust and communication.

The most enjoyable part of the job is letting our client know about our brand, quality and how we all about.
