and abilities is exceptionally fundamental in this field to keep up with all authoritative exercises
in a successful way. I had recognized that different sort of skilful area is required for this
department like leadership, decision making, problem solving and so on. I examine that it is
possible to make my profession in this area since I need to become retail manager for in
upcoming years, so this profile accommodating for me to develop with this. There is an

occurrence that can tapped at forefront of my thoughts that this perspective make a high
incentive for me. At the time of my study, my mentor just gave me a task where I need to inspect
those variables which is exceptionally needed for a retail job role in a renowned company. It was
