My work experience here at The Furniture Market™ by Craig

Over the past two weeks I’ve been on Work Experience here at the furniture market ™ . Whilst I have been here I have had a great time and have helped to make several improvements to the website. The main reason for me doing this is to provide you as the customer a better service and a great shopping experience when buying from the furniture market ™ . One of the things I got up to while I was here was to list some items from the Geo-Glass range on Ebay as well as updating the current stock levels. With reference to the website I have written product descriptions for many items to provide you with more information about the product which will ultimately improve the customer service. Within the product descriptions I have also for most of the French Furniture range and many more products moved the ‘product code’ to the bottom as it is seen as less important and really it’s not the first thing you need to see.

Another job I completed was to list the price at the top of the description next to where it says ‘on sale’. I did this for Rustic Oak category and practically all of the items on sale.  One of the more tedious jobs that I did which needed doing was the filing!! Putting all of the customer invoices into separate piles and filing them away. Although it wasn’t the best task I have had to do it gave me an idea of how the business works and even the jobs that people sometimes put off doing all do need doing.

On my fourth day here, as well as continuing with some website work, I was asked if I wouldn’t mind giving the showroom a clean through. It seemed like a challenge at first but really it was enjoyable – I got to meet some customers that came to have a look around the showroom and it also gave me the satisfaction that the showroom is now cleaner that it was (although it was pretty clean anyway to be honest).

Furthermore I have edited some of the pictures on the Oak Furniture Range to make them larger so they are easier and clearer for you to see when looking through our products. On some of these photos I have added a ‘+Click for More Images’ to allow people to know there are more pictures available for some of the products to give them a better idea of what it looks like from different angles. The time I have spent here I have learn loads of very interesting and useful things to do with business and how it works and the tasks that need doing to make it successful. As well as this I have learned that a website is much more than what it appears and how to edit a website to improve it and to provide a better service for the customer.

Overall the two weeks I have had here have been great!! I would happily want to come back – I’ve had the chance to meet loads of new people and have learned a range of very useful invaluable skills!!
