1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

as a buying assistant i do most of the admin part of the job like uploading fit comments so suppliers can see, amending and submitting PO's on systems, handing over samples to be shot to go on site and give updates to my team from whoever we work with

very organised !!

5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

lots however it would be nice to have more 121 catch-up with my line manager just because I'm still very new! In terms of apprenticeship catch up they are monthly which allows us enough time to have something to feedback on

lots they are always on hand but aren't always good with their replies

there seemed to be at the start but I feel more recently its only for ASOS insiders

6/10

9a. Would you recommend ASOS to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

they are so supportive and welcoming and have never made me feel uncomfortable. They offer so much in return for the work its employees put in and they make work not feel like work and something to look forward to on a weekly and daily basis

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to ASOS?

be yourself!! ASOS love authenticity and are so accepting to everyone
