Work Experience
Whilst I was at college, I went on work experience for two weeks to a
company named 'Business Land'. It is a company that deals with IT problems
from a simply faulty wire to building a computer. I learnt a few things in
my short time, but I mainly learnt what it is like working within IT. I
found that I enjoyed it and it also felt that it is something that I could
turn into a career.
CURRENT EMPLOYMENT
Clintons - December 2013 -Current
I am currently working for the card shop Clintons, as a Christmas temp. My
main duty is to give the best customer service to all of the customers that
either enter the store, or work past. I have to stock the shelves with all
the different cards that are available, as well as show the customers the
location of the items that are needed. It is a fast paced job which gives
me the chance to talk to customers and learn different ways to sell them
more items that might not have been thought up before.
PREVIOUS EMPLOYMENT

I am currently working for the company British Heart Foundation, helping

the store prepare for Christmas. I have to perform tasks such as dealing

look more appealing for the customers.
Marks and Spencer - July 2013 to September 2013
I worked in Marks and Spencer as a customer assistant. I was a morning
filler, which means that I stacked the shelves early in the morning, to get
the store ready so it can be opened on time. My shift started at either 6
am or 6.30 am. If I was to start work at 6, it was to help out with the ops
part of the team. I would have to empty the delivery truck and take all of
the stock to the fridge to be sorted.
McDonalds - February 2011 to April 2013
I worked for the family run business McDonalds in Basildon at the Festival
Leisure. I was one of the oldest crew trainers and have been a trainee
manager since December 2012. My main roles were to either work on the tills
or cooking the food, which is done at the highest of standards and quality.
My secondary roles were to train new crew members how to work on a station
such as till work, and to teach them the correct procedures. I learnt how
to handle large amounts of money at a time and have also been trusted in
dealing with other people's money. I gained a lot of experience from
working in McDonalds.
Argos Distribution Centre - September 2010 to December 2010
Blue Arrow, the logistics company, who employed me for the Argos

My work involved preparing drinks orders for seated customers, where
attention to detail and speed were both necessary. Between filling orders,
I was responsible for keeping the bar sufficiently well stocked.

My duties involved all aspects of providing fast food to both seated and
take away guests - preparation of raw food and cooking by fryer and
griddle; customer service with till operation; cleaning of the restaurant
and the outside area. This experience gave me a good understanding of
health and safety and the need to put the customer first.

Christmas job in Woolworths, initially with the expectation of longer
employment. I worked mainly on the tills as part of a team but also gained

overtime hours to support the permanent staff.
