Buyer Reviews
What is it like working as a Buyer?
February 2017
Industry where hard work pays off.
Buyer in Cape Town:
Retail is the industry where hard work is not exactly optional, but it truly pays off. It is very satisfactory when you achieve good results - emotionally and financially. The nature of the industry is also fast paced and ever changing. One day you might be on top, one day you find yourself coming 3rd in the race (which we all know is the worst, you are quite good but not good enough, you are just irrelevant). This is a part of the journey that makes this industry so exciting. You need high energy levels and determination.
