It was super fun- it was the 80’s. Lol. So I had worked in retail since I was 16, with increasingly better jobs. I graduated from college and went into a buyer training program at hornes. So you will definitely need retail experience and you need to be good with numbers and computers and you need to find a major chain that is looking for people.

My " desk" is a display table that I got from Horne's when they were selling everything in the place.
