2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I am currently doing my apprenticeship to become a duty manager and have so far learned to give colleagues cash for the till, put the tills on in the morning before the store opens and how to date check using our electronic gun.

9a. Would you recommend Iceland to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

Since starting my job at Iceland, I have been given a reward for my efforts in being a team player, helping out and covering shifts at short notice... I have never been given anything at any other job I have had, so its nice to be noticed for the extra effort you're putting in. I have also had a few gift vouchers on different occasions to use instore as a thank you for working during Covid-19, so that's been fab, as its been hard on all staff. Overall I feel it is a brilliant company to work for.

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

Be prepare to put in the work as Iceland is a busy store and you will always have something to do.
