I received a lot of support and guidance by both the brand team and visual merchandising team. I had weekly catch ups with my manager to manage my workload and ask any questions I may have. The team make it known that it is ok to make a mistake and offer feedback to avoid the situation in the future

Make sure you show your people skills as you will be working alongside a plethora of internal and external stakeholders. It's important to be confident in taking the initiative and being self motivated. I think organisational skills are extremely important as you are expected to manage a lot of jobs at once for multiple retailers
