  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • It was a 9 start where I worked and it ended quite late but it was enjoyable because you got to work with people you'd normally never work with. You got to do a lot of things such as testing out tills and unboxing. It was very fun and I would advice it to anyone who wants to do something like that. Trust me it isn't as boring as people say it

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I learnt a variety of skills and techniques when I worked with adds for example when I worked on the tills I learned a bit of it when it comes to tills and also I learnt more about communication especially with vustomers. It was good to get some physical exercise with box unboxing and helping customers when they come to you asking you for advice or where a certain thing is. This was phenomenal especially I was shy when I was younger. It really helps

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • To a great extent indeed. I loved the programme everyone was lovely and very understanding and understandable if I did something wrong. It was very enjoyable and wasn't always the same repetitive thing every hour which was an highlight. It was really worth the apprenticeship. I especially loved the community and all my other colleagues who were supportive and my boss was a good guy
