sales assistant Review

my role is a kitchen designer. i interact with customers and help them with their kitchen, bathroom or bedrooms projects. i will place orders on their behalf, sit down and do appointments for those who need a design as well as answer any general questions. i will also work some stock and operate a till.

while doing this apprenticeship it has given me the opportunity to expand in my role and have a go at doing some stock. this has taught me the process of how stock makes it onto the shelf. the academic side has taught me some key features of retail too such as what type of customer their are and my communication.

i enjoy doing stock as it is something different to my role. my team are brilliant. they are supportive and help me with any difficulties i have. i enjoy the program as i like to learn and being back in this atmosphere helps me to push myself to the limit.

i have just had a change over with my mentor, my next appointment was quite far away from my previous. however he has been filled in on my progres. the time i get off of the shop floors varies, i haven't completed any work for a few weeks but this is not directly the apprenticeship at blame.

my employer gives me an adequate amount of support. my line manager is very helpful with assisting me with some of the tasks that i don't fully understand. however to be improved i need to be given the correct amount of time of the shop floor. this is improving though by me being allowed to complete it on weekends.

i receive a follow up every month or so to go over my previous work and get information on the next course. however i have only had one follow up and that was a phone call, i would have understood better if i was person. my next one is still far away so i currently artn getting a lot of help but this should change when things settle down more.

as it still early stages i am struggling to see any substantial change at the moment. however with progress in the course i expect to know far more about retail and the processes to then push into a supervisor role or management role in the future. however i am learning communication which should improve my interaction skills.

there is not any extra curricular activities at work such as social activities, sports or professional networking events. however a few times a year our HR colleague oranges work night out in which member of staff can join to have fun outside of the work environment. recently we had a quiz night.

Yes

b and q has been the place that i have worked so far. the staff at our store in particular are so friendly and versatile. the mangers get along with all the staff. we have a variety of ages. if you any issue kingfisher provide services to help you out too.

the application process is is long so take your time and answer honestly. their are also several interview stages. on the assessment day research a product beforehand to be prepared to present it. be honest about your days of availability because they are reluctant to change this in the future.
