My job responsibilities in this role is to coordinate services rendered by our suppliers and maintain the data infrastructure at Estee Lauder retails stores in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. I also provide support with regards to software used in the retail environment such as IBM Lotus Notes and Retail Pro. I also provide technical support at the retail stores and at head office in relation to hardware and software necessary to perform daily operations. What I enjoy the most is being the backbone of our data infrastructure at retail stores as this is the backbone of transaction capturing at our retail environment. Due to the competency level expected, I'd say the most challenging part of the job is relying on service providers to render services according to expectations.
Pros: Great opportunity for diversification of my IT knowledge.
Cons: Retail staff is usually tricky to help remotely due to limited technical ability.

It has always been the highlight of my career. Having the flexibility to show and teach staff.
I pride myself on working consistently and strategically in whatever I do. In the retail industry your focus is not on you or your colleagues, it’s the client services and the authenticity of the services. My day to day duties started with preparation of the daily summary and uniform check,client bookings and any customer complaints.thus we can remedy and retain our clientele. I worked as a manager for 4-5 yrs at MAC melrose arch opening the first stand alone store in Johannesburg and MAC Truworths Cresta, when nobody wanted the task of turning the store around from its -% growth to a +%..I took the challenge and succeeded. Today ,I look back proudly at my hard work along with a successful team. And I say thank you to all the opportunities and blessings,as each challenge is turned to successes.
Pros: Great growth opportunities overseas
Cons: Wanted to be a trainer for staff in customer services
