Musgrave Retail Partners

• Trading Assistant

  • Aug 2011 - Dec 2012

  I worked as a Trading Assistant (Buyer’s Assistant) in a food retail company. With this role being completely different to my previous jobs, I have been able to further develop skills and behaviours which I had not used before. Working in a positively fast paced department, I have learnt how to multi-task and organise my working day successfully. I took care of all the administration matters on my team, as well as liaising closely with suppliers and retailers.I worked directly under two line managers, so therefore I am used to juggling tasks on a daily basis and sticking to tight deadlines to ensure our team runs smoothly.I have excellent working knowledge of Microsoft Office, including Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.My role also includes managing and maintaining sales, stock levels and issues that may arise, such as shortages; I have to find a solution before the problem develops which I have aptly handled very well on a number of occasions.
