Skills such as working in a team, management and delegating tasks while using different management styles, confidence of presenting information for your managers.
Responsibilities
Lots of responsibility was given to myself, I would be running the shift on my own, aswell as opening and closing the store.
Support & Guidance
I received a good amount of support
Culture
The company culture is harsh but fair, it takes some getting used to the constant feedback, however it builds up your resilience.
Your Impressions
The placement has given me a understanding of the world of work and given me life skills that I will take with me for the rest of my life
No
Be yourself, the company will allow you to come out of your shell and become a version of yourself you didn’t think possible
