What do you like about your job and the company?
When building displays, we get to be very creative. For the World Cup, we made the British flag using the 24 pack Diet Coke and classic coke 18 packs which look amazing from the consumer point of view. The stores will always get a lot of stock delivered when there are a lot of events, so it’s just being able to use the stock that may not necessarily fit into the fixture, for a display at the front of the store creates a different shopping experience for customers. We also build Christmas trucks in store which customers are really excited for and as they can also sit inside them and it plays music, it’s really fun for all of the family to enjoy while completing their normal food shopping.

Top Insider Advice
Don't be afraid to reach out to people and ask silly questions or want to know more about their role etc. People are always willing to help and therefore don't be shy to ask for it. Having a strong network will not only help in terms of understanding the wider business and can provide you with people to rely on when you need support; but it will also open up new opportunities that may not have been possible. Also be clear on what kind of roles you enjoy (make take time to figure out) - but understand what gets you out of bed in the morning and then look for roles that have these aspects as part of them. And definitely don't expect to have a lot of the requirements on job descriptions - do not let this put you off applying. After all, if you had all the list, arguably you shouldn't be applying! The point is to show your transferable skills to the role and willingness to learn, and you should then have opportunities in the role to develop particular skills.
