Gap Year Option
If you’re thinking about taking a Gap Year after your degree, or you’ve just come back from one, the M&S Graduate Scheme could provide the perfect environment to help you make the most of your experiences.
Why do we think a career at M&S would suit someone who’s seen a bit of the world? Well, planning a Gap Year requires a fair bit of organisation. So you’ve already proved you have some of the key skills we look for in our Commercial Managers; namely the ability to set clear goals and determine the best way to achieve them.
Anyone who’s completed a Gap year will have gained a fair bit of confidence, not to mention the ability to relate to people of all ages and backgrounds. Those kinds of people skills are invaluable in a fast-moving retail environment like ours. And if you enjoyed meeting new characters on your travels, then a career where you get to talk to people from all walks of life every day should be right up your street.
Add the fact that no two days in our stores are ever the same (something you’ll have experienced and enjoyed when moving between countries and cultures) and we think you’ll agree that a career with us could tick all the right boxes for you.
Our online quiz ‘Is M&S right for you?’ will give you a further idea of how well suited you are to the retail environment.
If you need to raise some funds for your trip, why not take a job in one of our stores? It will give you the perfect chance to experience what working life is like at M&S.
