Work Experience | House Of Fraser - Date: 4th - 8th of December
I choose to do my first work experience of Transition Year in House of Fraser. Which is located in Dundrum, Co.Dublin. I went during this time because Christmas was soon and I knew it would be busy as well as challenging.
First Day: Monday 4th of December When I first arrived to House of Fraser I went to the main office and met the manager of the floor - Michelle. I was sent down onto the floor. My first task was to dust down all of the shelving units that held the hand bags and purses. I later went into the stock room to inbox some handbags, purses and much more. I also sorted the shelving units in the stock room too. Towards the end of the day I went and helped my other boss, Geraldine out on the floor with some customers.
Second Day: Tuesday 5th of December When I arrived into House of Fraser for my second day of work experience I headed straight to the stock room. I unboxed several ted baker hand bags, purse and much more. After a few hours I headed to the gift section which was new. I talked to and helped various of customers. I was later moved to the scarves section for the end of the day.
Third Day: Wednesday 6th of December When I arrived into House of Fraser for my second day of work experience I stayed in a bag section that included ‘Linea’ and ‘Therapy’ for a couple of hours. After the few hours I went to the sabres section again. During this time, I would be refilling scarves as well as helping out customers. Later on in the day I satoed the whole of the ‘Label Lab’ bags (I added new prices to the bags and purses because there was a sale coming up). I went to the scarves section again for the last bit of my third Day.
Fourth day: Thursday 7th of December When I arrived into House of Fraser for my fourth day of work experience I headed straight to the stock room again. I stayed in there for about 4 hours. During this time frame I unboxed about 15-20 totes/crates. After all of the unboxing I satoed several ted baker bags and purses. Before I knew it Day four was complete.
Fifth day: Friday 8th of December When I arrived into House of Fraser for my fifth and final day of work experience I went to the stock room for the third time. Shortly afterwards I headed back onto the floor and helped in the gifting section. I began to satoe more purses for the upcoming sales. For the last and final hour of my work experience I helped at the desk with several customers.
In conclusion I really enjoyed my week at House of Fraser. I completed my tasks very well and the whole experience was unreal. Due to me completing my tasksat a high standard, Geraldine one of my bosses ended up offering me a job for whenever I’m free.
