Career History
Tesco Early Careers Team 2013 – Present
After my time in Tesco stores, I transferred to the office. My role from March 2013 was the
team administrator and have since helped support Graduate Inductions, organise training
days, plan and orchestrate 4 week store placements for office graduates and much more. I
have been placed into a ‘stretch’ position and have taken work on, whilst handing over very
little. My biggest achievement is designing the 2015 Internship Programme.
Tesco Store Graduate Scheme 2012 – 2013
I started the scheme in September 2012 and was based in Tesco Express stores until March
2013. By this time I was successfully signed off as a Deputy Manager, responsible for
running the shop whilst the Store Manager was absent. My responsibilities included:
colleague training and support, working towards KPI targets (sales, shrink and waste), self-
development whilst managing a team and ensuring great customer service at all times.

2. Wickes 2007 – 2012
I was a part-time shopfloor customer assistant providing product information and advice to
customers. I was considered a valuable asset, often being asked to help train new
colleagues and consider the employability of temporary hires.
Skills
 Numeracy. As part of the statistics modules in my degree and the mathematical
aspect of my final year project, I was required to have a good, flexible understanding
of numeracy.
 Excel, Word and Outlook. I am adept at using computer programs, and am
proficient with Word, Excel and Outlook. I’ve needed a good understanding of these
to be effective in my role in the Tesco Early Careers Team.
 Communication. I am an excellent communicator and manage to convey my
meaning vocally in a way that I can build a good understanding and rapport with
others.
 Research and Networking Skills. In order to perform well at University, I
developed keen essay and project research skills. I have also found this at Tesco,
where I have needed to network with the right teams to obtain the information
needed when I wasn’t an expert in the area.
 Presentation Skills. During my time at Tesco my confidence with public speaking
has grown and have spoken at events, both in a formal and informal manner.
 Self-motivation and time-management. I achieved a first in my degree, whilst
also working a part-time job to fund living and studies plus leisure activities. In my
final year I was also writing a book whilst dedicating time to my degree.
 Reliability. I rarely take sick days from work. I am always on time and I am
constantly relied upon to perform the critical jobs at work meticulously.
 Teamwork. I enjoy working as a team and seeing the fruits of a joint labour. I also
appreciate when the need comes to work independently, and like keeping my work
to the high standards I set myself.
Interests
 Learning and customer service. I am interested in learning about my workplace.
I take great fulfilment from being a knowledgeable expert in my role, so that I can
help customers or colleagues with their queries whilst building great relationships
with them.
 Humour and great place to work. What really matters to me is being able to be
myself at work. Humour is key and I thrive in an atmosphere that appreciates it.
 Outside of work. During my final year of University I started work on a series of
books called The Deian War. I have since finished the fifth and last in the series,
which I have self-published on Amazon. My favourite get-away is a theme park
where excitement, fun and facing fears are all combined into one.
Additional Information
 I do not have a driving licence at present, but will be taking driving lessons early
next year.
 I have Type 1 Insulin-dependent Diabetes. My control is stable and has been for the
last 10 years.
