  • 9a. Would you recommend Lookers to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would recommend this company because the people that work here are a nice group of people who are easy to get on with, but you can also have a joke around with them all and also get serious when you all need to be.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Lookers?
  • Make sure you are prepared to put some hard work but if you do, then you will enjoy it especially once you are past the half way mark because that's when the work gets more interesting.
