That languages other than English are important if you want to communicate properly these days
Working for one company for many years was a plus for me - I did a host of different jobs from store management to running a systems department , and worked in Germany & Belguim as well as around the UK .
Retailing is about people , and has its own buzz .
After retiring in 2004 , I got bored and now do seasonal showroom work for Asda , which is also a good company.
