Experience • I’ve had work experience working in a charity shop called Sue Ryder, it was
a valuable experience that I have taken away with me. I have also had to set up and sell some items on stools in school and college although this isn’t the most difficult job I gained key customer service with from this.
• When I was working in Sue Ryder, I had multiple tasks to do within the day, they varied from sorting out new items that were handed in by the public, stacking shelves when needed, showing people around, working on the till and helping people carry bags of new items from their vehicle when needed.
