What do you like about your job and the company?

Working for a soft drinks powerhouse, Coca Cola, I am fortunate enough to be an ambassador for them. My role involves continuously building strong relationships with outlet owners to get our brand out there for the consumers. As well as, creating awareness of our new and limited edition drinks for special occasions e.g. Christmas. I also get to go to two conferences each year to gain an understanding of how Coca Cola are performing and also allows me to socialise with other individuals across the business. Coca Cola provide excellent flexibility when I have personal priorities and management care for my well-being. Also, I get recognised for my hard work by senior management and board of directors by using an internal social media platform where I can share my wins.

Greatest achievements

Winning the yearly incentive and being No.1 in the country was a great achievement. Utilising the knowledge I have learnt from my manager and my team I was able to achieve the required targets for our brand 'Schweppes' in a short amount of time in the company. I posted my win via our internal social media app and it went viral in the company and my work was recognised by the board of directors.

Being focussed on your overall outcome for your career is key working at CCEP. They are so open to helping you to succeed and progress if that’s the route you want to go down. They looks for individuals who are themselves, as there is no company that employs staff that are all the same right? Individuality is what sells to them as a company and is what they look for here. Embrace yourself!

Top Insider Advice

Never be afraid to ask a question, no matter how silly it may be. Someone may want to know the answer as well. This goes part-in-parcel with listening, it is easy to hear someone but to listen and absorb the information and if you don’t understand then ask them to explain more. People will respect you more if you are engaging with them and ask for more information if you don’t understand.
