What tips or advice would you give to others applying to KFC UK & I?
If on a programme try and incorporate your daily work tasks into your work to make it easier to show how your using skills you learnt at work. It’s hard at first but you settle down quite quickly. It’s a fast paced environment so overtime you learn to pick up speed. You can never ask too many questions, it’s better to ask as many times and get it right rather than being worried about makin mistakes.
