Put the pizzazz back into part-time. However many hours you take on at Vodafone, we&amp;#x2019;ll make sure that every single one is stimulating, fun and, well, worth your while.
How? Well, firstly, you won&amp;#x2019;t swamp our customers with sales patter. You&amp;#x2019;ll use your brains and your personality to offer them honest, helpful, personal advice. Specifically, you&amp;#x2019;ll show them exciting things about the latest mobiles, guide them through any confusing areas and help them choose something that&amp;#x2019;s exactly right. All with a huge amount of charm and personality.

Training
You&amp;#x2019;ll start with a thorough induction, which&amp;#x2019;ll include a week in a &amp;#x2018;training store&amp;#x2019; and four one-day events. 
After that, everything you learn counts towards an NVQ Level 2. (And you won&amp;#x2019;t even have to study outside work.)

Who we&amp;#x2019;re looking for
We have people with all different backgrounds working for us. You don&amp;#x2019;t need to have experience in a customer services or sales environment (though it&amp;#x2019;ll certainly help). All you need is a positive attitude, an eagerness to learn new things and that uncanny ability to build a rapport with anyone you meet.
