For the past five weeks we have attended a course and studied retail. During this time we have learned about building confidence, healthy living, first aid, Meadowhall operations, display merchandising, customer services and how to deal with all types of customers.

We have also learned a great deal about ourselves and how to keep a healthy body and healthy mind. We had a gym induction and worked out. During our time at The Source we ate healthily and learned about calorie content within foods and how to reduce calorie intake by different methods of cooking.

We were also taught how our image makes us look to employers, how not to present a negative image and how little changes in body language can say so much about us.

We would like to think that as people we have grown since starting the course becoming more confident and knowledgeable about retailers and customers. At the end of this we are hoping to find a job in retail or another training chance to help gain a qualification to help us get a job that will get us a start in the world of retail.
