Resilience, creativity, hard work and perseverance; A few of the words which best describes me as an employee. I am an outgoing and creative Fine Art graduate, currently working as an international brand buyer/coordinator at Edgars, where I work on two prominent international brands, namely Mango and La Senza. I know that my experience in managing various different categories, fast ability to learn, self-motivation and passion will contribute to my excellent work performance in any role. During my 7 years of experience in the Retail industry, I have managed to gain skills that would really benefit any team that I might join. During my time in Private label ladiewear brands, I have developed great negotiation skills, and how to translate a concept into a reality for specific target markets, by adhering to a budget. By working with international brands, I have had the privilege of travelling internationally to Mango’s showroom in Barcelona, learned how to build and keep good relationships with both brand, and other stakeholders within our company to ensure the brand is effectively executed in our stores. I have also developed my skills in selecting product that would work in our market and how to be selective, in order to adhere to my budget. Being an exceptionally creative person, working in a corporate environment has taught me how to work together in a team, and how to stick to very tight deadlines, by creating a schedule. I am open to new ideas, love learning something new, and embrace all challenges that come my way. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I am really excited about the prospect of working with you. I look forward to hearing from you and can be reached via my cellphone or email. Thanks and Kind regards, Richenda Anderson 076 89 03 007 ****@*****.***
