8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

Opportunity wise I have been looking, however a lot of the jobs seem to be part time or only over a certain time frame ( holidays) but hopefully there will be options at the end of the apprenticeship.

9. Would you recommend Savers to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

It is a welcoming environment where people are treated equally and fairly, everybody can share a joke and work together without problems.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Savers?

Don't be shy, when I first started I was intimidated and did not talk to anyone for the first week, but then I gradually came out of my shell and now they can't shut me up.
