Having started as a crew member in a new store, it was not long before my leadership skills and engagement abilities for both customer and colleague were identified. Subsequently I was pushed for Training Squad responsible for the training and development of crew members as well as the competence certification to food, health and safety standards. I was then asked to embark on the floor management programme at an early age where I developed many of my core people and business skills which have stood me in good stead for my subsequent career. My time at McDonalds was utterly rewarding, highly enjoyable and really grounded a customer service and team development focus in me. It also embedded strong values and a powerful work ethos, I have much to thank the corporation for, they really developed and inspired me to believe in myself.
