**From the Organisation's Perspective**

2. *Effectiveness in managing warehouse:* Many applicants underestimate the importance of inventory management in roles like these, evident in similar jobs in zw.
3. *Client Servicing Skills:* Interaction with clients is noted multiple times. High proficiency in this skill is expected yet often missed by applicants, especially in Zimbabwean jobs.
