Stack it till you reach the top!

There's no deneying that supermarkets can be one of the most frustrating places to work. I've worked at a few myself, notably Asda, Morrisons, and Marks. The                   hours which make standing on the 7:38 to London Euston sound alright and the managers who's most prised skill is he 'won't leave', will leave a hole in any man's sole where hope and happiness used to reside. They can be however, a blissful training centre for all the skills which have lacked nursing during your years of university. You've probably met these skills everyday of your university life, the checkout ladies who give a new meaning to the term chatterbox or the store managers who give you a glimpse into army standard organisation. It's no coincidence these are two of the most sort after skills on a Job Specification either. Proven examples of communication and organisation are like honey with a bear when trying to place yourself on the elevator of graduate employment and I don't think there's a better example of a business that needs good communicators and good organisers than a supermarket. With a job industry like old leather and a overflow of graduates specialised in almost every career, supermarkets can honestly be one of the best places to find a good wage while crafting the skills which will make a real difference. I guarantee you'll know the real answer to questions like 'what is your greatest weakness' in less than a month. These vast corporations also have some of the best graduate placements in the world and if you work hard putting the cream out, you'll surely rise to the top.
