  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Well to start off with it was a very exciting and fun thing yo do with my school it made me feel independent and free to do what I want, I worked in a Waitrose store in London and the staff were very welcoming and helped all the time with my tasks if i needed it, for example the lifting work , if there were very heavy objects i was not allowed to lift due to health and safety reasons they would assist me no matter what, on my last day of work experience i was given a box of chocolates from the manager as a thank you for my help and to say well done , it made me feel much mire confident and happy with my work.
