Is there anything I can do to help me compete against internal candidates?

Hi Stephen! Sorry to hear that you narrowly missed out on the opportunity. What did you apply for?

Depending on what role you are looking for it's always beneficial to spend some time in trade to understand our brands and how we execute with our customers.

It was team merchandising manager. I have also recently applied for account exec, beverages for tomorrow in Glasgow. The advert closed almost a month ago, based on this does that mean I’ve not been successful for interview. Thanks. Hi Daniel, I’m currently a manager in Tesco. Speaking to some CCEP colleagues and managers I understand training in done via an app, which I have viewed and looks an amazing tool. Would anything like that be open to myself to complete in my own free time or maybe some voluntary work.

We don't have external access to our training modules unfortunately, however, if you look at the job adverts they give you a good steer on some of the skills and characteristics that you need. There's a lot of resource out there that link to these skills. We encourage our teams to look at things like Ted Talks, Harvard Business Review articles and YouTube videos on a wide range of topics linked to the roles.

Appreciate the feedback Daniel I watch Ted Talks and YouTube videos all ready but never heard of the Harvard business review, I’ll look into that. Thanks.
