9/10

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

Level 2 of the apprenticeship involves coming in and stacking shelves, running tills and communicating with customers. It also involves the odd “management” job such as taking in the offsales. No day is ever the same which makes each shift exciting.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

My customer service skills have improved. Time keeping and also being able to come in for a shift at 5am.
