    - Yes, of course. After I finished university, I took a job with a big high street chain - I was an assistant manager. Every week, you would see the sales figures for your product and then act on that by placing repeat orders or putting a new style in. It was a good grounding. However, most of the staff had been there for years and I think I did make mistakes in my dealings with them - I blush now to think of my time there. I then moved on after five years to my present job.

    - I would eventually like to be in senior management.

I'm american and this has a couple phrases that are not used in US "high street chain" we just don't have an exactly similar idea -- I'm not quite sure if it means "department store" or "nationwide chain"

and "most of the staff had been there years" -- we'd say "been there for years"

So I'm submitting a recording, you might want to request specifically English/UK
