Sales assistant Review

I would work alongside the sales assistants, on a different floor every day for five days. I started on the perfume and gift floor where I was given expert advice from the wonderful im store milliner Adrian, on a separate day I worked with the cheases, where I could taste the products, an absolute treat. I met a boy who explained the internship program he was on, and i found that extremely interesting. My day on the tills was so much fun, really getting an idea of the family, buzzing relationship between staff. My favourite part was probably packing hampers, they were so beautiful and cared about by the staff.

Communication Listening Patience Visual skills such as how to lay out the shop beautifully Helping others Being appreciated and appreciative, not taking anything for granted Working diligently with others Understanding the importance and beauty of the products Seeing the building in a new light, the stunning interior and exterior of piccadilly

I absolutely loved it, the people were so kind and accepting, even as a seventeen year old student they treated me as an adult, like i was part of a mature unit that was ensuring the image of fortnums, the iconic beauty of the building and products. I thank them for everything.

The lack of a clear set out structure helped to actually put me at ease, they let me choose what floor i would be working on sometimes, giving me the freedom to feel comfortable inmy surroundings. It was a very independent experience, i had a company tie and badge to make me one of the team.

This was theist important part of the experience, making the company image as wonderful and beautiful as it had been for the last centuries. It is all about the customers experience of luxury and pleasure, we were all hosts that wpuld work to make the building an inviting area for the public.

I would love to take up a job at fortnums when i become a student after a levels. The experience only made my love of the company greater, the bussy life behind closed doors showed me thr the truth if fortnum and mason, and i am glad to say, working for them was even more of a pleasure than being a customer.

I was not paid, but i was reimbursed for my travel.

Yes, i spoke to the milliner, perfume expert and chease monger the most, they were all brilliant.

Yes

It is a wonderful company that represents the luxury of British goods.

Be ready to be the image of a company, dress well, be confident and kind, and be ready to work hard.
