This was part time employment to support myself through my education. The main role was the picking of customers’ orders from the shop floor, ensuring the best product possible was selected for the customer. However, I was also involved in the organisation and maintenance of the product sequencing to ensure the most efficient route around the store, taking into account any seasonal or permanent changes of product locations
