1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Resourcing - social media - I work within the resourcing team, on their social media channels to raise their profile and credibility to get people to join the business. I post daily across our social media platforms, such as Linked In, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. I work with an external company called 'Chatter communications' who help with employee branding to attract, recruit and engage the very best talent.

I have learned many skills within my time at Morrisons, such as time management, how to lead meetings, how to deal with customers and external businesses.
