Summary
I am currently waiting to start a Design degree at Lancaster University in October of this year. I previously worked at Argos for nearly 1 year which I completed alongside my A-Level studies. I thoroughly enjoyed the interactions that I had with customers, and I liked helping to solve their problems and meet their needs. I also had the opportunity to work on the shop floor in Sainsbury's. Through my time as an Argos employee, I became proficient at using the software needed to carry out my tasks.
