Woolworths Head Office Reviews

 

Motivational Letter

To whom it may concern, I am very familiar with the work of Woolworths, since I am currently employed at Woolworths as a Planner Assistant in the Wine and Beverages department. I am a hardworking and quick learner who is able to communicate with different people from various cultures. I have the ability to work on my own and maintain a good sense of responsibility when it comes to meeting my deadlines; and I am an excellent team player and I know how to work in a team. I am willing to learn and all that I need is an opportunity to prove myself as a hard and dedicated worker. I believe that my strong educational background and work experience can make me an asset as a suitable candidate. I have the skills and qualifications to benefit your organization. I am a conscientious person who works hard and pays attention to detail. I'm flexible, quick to pick up new skills and eager to learn from others. I also have lots of ideas and enthusiasm.

Pros: Hardworking
Cons: Very Fast in thinking

Fast paced environment

A typical day would consist of a lot of ad hoc meetings and ad hoc exercises with very pressing deadlines. This is a fast-paced environment which is very deadline and performance driven. The company culture among colleagues is nice, but also be a ware of ‘every man for himself’ culture that tends to live in ladies wear – I would say this is the most challenging part the day to day. Light banter is ever present in our team, which makes life a lot more fun. The company has great training programs and really grow people’s hard and soft skills where possible. There is also opportunity to move to different parts of the company to gain experience, do attachments with different stakeholders and have your voice heard with new ideas of implementation. Company benefits are incredible – the best in the industry. This should be considered when discussing salaries.

Pros: Great company benefits and discounts
Cons: Long working hours and very micro managing
