Summary
When it comes to my prior work experience despite it being only retail. The skills I picked up on those to jobs are easily translated into game design. Those skills being time and task management. From when I had to get multiple task done by a set date. To other kinds of communication and teamwork skills I developed and honed when working in my department. I also have experience in writing stories for different fantasy worlds which has led me to being able to make good story design. Not only that I have experience in creating concepts for other indie game developers as well.
