Customer Assistant Review

Customer assistant - this involved restocking shelves, tidying the shop floor, assisting customers and serving customers on the till

My skills that developed during my work experience were communication, confidence and time management

I enjoyed the customer aspect of the work experience, as I enjoy helping others and ensuring all of their needs are met. However, the tasks I undertook were often dull and tedious, but it gave me an insight into working in a retail based environment

I felt very valued whilst I was completing my work experience, as all of my hard work was noticed and everyone was very welcoming

The programme was only a 1 week work experience, however each day I had a clear idea of what tasks I had to complete

The manager whom I reported to was very helpful, and was always happy to answer any questions that I had

It is clear the company cares about its employers, as from my experience they were very accommodating and appreciative of my work

Ensure that you are very customer-driven, as the focus of the company is the customers
