This week was my first experience of promotional work. I recently got the job, which appealed to me from the flexible hours that I can work around uni and my other job, and I wanted to gain first hand experience in how promoting a product or an object works.

It was so awesome. I was promoting chocolate inside a supermarket and I loved it. Four days in a row. It was so weird afterwards because the next week I’d be walking around the supermarket for example and see the product and just feel so superior to everyone else inside because I know what that product has been through in order to get to those shelves, and I feel as though I have so much connection with it!

I got to meet all different people who work for the chocolate company and who work inside the supermarket.

I learnt how to communicate with members of the public in a friendly professional yet casual way.
