Halfords

The questions on everyone's lips

• There’s a lot of employers out there... What made you choose us?

  For me it’s quite simple, they’re very much local to me and have a very good reputation within my area.

• What do you get up to on a typical day?

  On a typical day, my main job role is obviously picking bikes but then I also float around other departments, helping with any tasks other managers have for me.

• What challenges have you faced and how did you deal with them?

  I’ve been fortunate in that since taking on full-time at Halfords, I’ve been working towards becoming a Relief Team Manager. This has presented numerous challenges but I’ve been lucky enough to have support of the Management team to help guide me through that.

• Tell us about the training and development...

  I’m currently in the early stages of my training but with the help and support of my management and their recommendations I will soon be put onto the management training course.

• What's been your biggest achievement?

  Since being taken on full time, having the Management team recognise potential in me and helping me progress within the company.

• And, to anyone thinking about applying, what would you tell them?

  If you’re willing to get down and work hard, there are many opportunities for you within the company.
