  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I think the scheme is fantastic, I have learnt so much and been totally pushed outside my comfort zone but always felt well supported by those in my team


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Marks & Spencer?
  • The interview and assessment process is as much about figuring out if M&S is a place you would like to work as much as it is for them to see you. Get involved as much as possible during the assessment centres and onboarding/induction as I have made friends for life through this
