23rd October 08 Geneveive Tolfield from George talk

Geneveive is the graduate manager at George, she came to talk to us about the company and also about working for George. Genevieve was a buyer at George then went on to HR and progressed to training buyers. She told us about Asda's values (Asda own George) and how important they are to the company, Their values are: Respect for the individual, Service and Strive for excellence. We were told we could apply for a 12 month placement at George or do 1-4 weeks unpaid work experience, I am quite interested in the buying department and am considering doing the work experience in easter for a few weeks. We were told a bit about what they look for in a portfolio and a CV. I think I will make some changes to my CV which I have now written and the next step is to put together my portfolio, I may put some of my work on here too.
