I have been in retail for over 20 years.  I have always enjoyed it because not every day is the same.  I currently work for a school uniform company that does business with private schools.  I am the Special Events Manager and am involved in other departments as well.  The advantages of being in retail I have learned how to interact with people from all backgrounds.  I have learned to have good empathy and be a good listener.  I work well under pressure and have learned great multitasking skills.  I also am involved in my church by singing in the choir and helping teach religious education to second graders.
