• I worked as a customer assistant at Farmfoods, for several months. It was a very busy store, and a small workforce, making every shift a rewarding challenge. While working there I was mainly a cashier; however I also faced up and products on shelves, assisted customers and cleaned the store on evening shifts. It was a fast-paced environment and helped improve both my efficiency and time management.

Over the Winter period, I was a customer assistant at Tesco. I labeled

products and shelves, updated prices, stacked shelves and assisted

customers. I was also trained to use self-scanning tills. I found the work

rewarding.

I volunteered at a charity shop, Rainbow Turtle, for several months last

year as part of my Duke of Edinburgh Award. I carried out a variety of

roles, including opening the shop, restocking shelves, working on the till

and helping customers.
