I was hired part time as a Data Protection Executive while I finished my History MA with the intention of going full time once I had finished at university.

Primark

As retail began to reopen after the lockdowns of the Covid-19 pandemic, I had to transfer from the Dundee store to the Metrocentre Gateshead store as I had moved back home from my university city. I worked my first few weeks as a till operator then moved to the menswear department for the rest of my employment. I was one of the most experienced members of staff on my department on weekends so I had a lot of responsibility.
