  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My main duties were stocking the shelves, I also had to do routine stock take if my supervisor was not working. I had to check if the deliveries we received were right and if we didn’t get the right deliveries I had to report to the manager. My other duties were helping customers with their needs or any problems they have. I also had to cut carpets and table covers for customers, I also had to sell carpets for customers. I also had to tidy up the stock room to make room for new deliveries.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I learnt how to deal with people who are very rude and angry towards me for simple of reasons. I have also gained so much respect for retail workers because customers treat them with no respect at all

  • 4. How valued do you feel by Tesco?

    4/10

  • 9. Would you recommend Tesco to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because It is really hard and you don't get any rewards for putting on so much hard work. At the end it is not really worth it in my opinion.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Tesco?
  • Apply for somewhere else. Only apply for tesco if you have no other choice. The interview was all right they only wanted to see if you are willing to work and they said i will fit right in
