Trainee Buyer Review

My Role is a trainee buyer. Currently my daily tasks are made up of managing administration, managing supplier relationships and range construction. I interact with various parts of the business and my suppliers.

I am currently working on a level 4 diploma in Business and proffesional administration which is aiding me in my job. Tesco also offer a variety of different training for skills needed on the job. Also people management skills are learnt with day to day interactions. Another skill i have learnt is negotiation teechniques.

It has met my expectation and is the correct job for me. I feel intergrated into the team well adding to my enjoyment.

I feel valued by Tesco through the involvement in projects by Tesco.

There is a large amount of training involved in the programme and also a lot of mentoring. The programme is well organised as it is split between on the job learning and classroom learning effectively.

There is a large amount of support given from various parts of the programme, with the likes of programme sponsors/ my manager and mentors.

I receive a large amount of support by my employer. They are always more than happy to help when i get stuck in a situation.

The salary/ package is ok. I am aware that other programmes with other companies pay more in some cases in relation to the job that is being done.

There is a varied amount of opportunities that exist in my business with after work fitness clubs and also social events at different parts of the year.

Yes

Because a good school leaver programme is offered with a vast amount of training included.

Put everything they can into the process of applying as each stage is incredibly challenging. Make sure you network as much as possible as knowing certain individuals can pay dividends and also offer support.
