UK Retailers Have 25000 Job Openings
According to the daily Mirror, there are over 25,000 jobs that are available in the billion Pound UK retail industry.
According to the statistic quoted by the Daily Mail, the 25,000 plus jobs available are a combination of both full and part time jobs, and are available at all of the major UK grocery retailers including ASDA Groceries Online. Thousands of additional jobs are available through apprenticeships and training programs for school leavers.
ASDA grocery has over 700 jobs available at its stores, with the retailer interested in hiring everyone from sales assistants to cashiers and pharmacists and the company says it will commit to making 6000 apprentice opportunities available by the end of the year, a figure it says it will increase to 25,000 by the beginning of 2013.
Anne Seaman of Skillsmart Retail, said: “When hiring new staff, supermarkets look at a candidate’s attitude, willingness to work hard and commercial awareness as much as their qualifications – meaning you can get your foot in the door and on to the career ladder.”
“They are very keen to train and develop their staff. It’s an extremely competitive marketplace and supermarkets know, more than ever, that price alone isn’t enough: great customer service and knowledge of the products on sale are essential.”
She added: “Nearly all the major supermarkets now offer retail apprenticeships and other qualifications, giving plenty of chances to get your skills nationally recognized at work.”
