Company DetailsIt’s hard to believe that Three, the brand name of Hutchison 3G UK Limited, has only been around since 2003. The mobile phone and broadband company has certainly fitted a lot into its relatively short history. Three was the very first operator in the UK to offer unlimited data (All You Can Eat) on their smartphones and they now have the fastest growing 3G network in the nation, with coverage of over 98% of the UK population. Three is also a great place to start your career... In 2015, they were voted as the 7th best place to work in the UK for the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award - and who voted for them? Yes, their staff did! So what sort of jobs can students, graduates and other young people do at Three? Well, there’s not a lot you can’t do at Three, to be honest. Whatever career path you fancy, there’s probably something to suit you at Three. Three has offices in Maidenhead, Reading and Glasgow - and just some of the functions on offer throughout their business organization include: Technology, Marketing & Branding, Support & Admin, Legal, Digital, Operations, Project and Programme Management, Finance, Telesales, Customer Relations and Human Resources. But, perhaps for most of you, your way into work at Three is going to be by taking a full or part time job in a retail role at one of their 350+ stores dotted about all over the UK. With over 8 million customers, Three needs a strong team of retail experts to help them to continue to grow their business. Unless you have a lot of previous work experience behind you then you’ll more than likely start out in a retail role at Three as a Sales Associate - and, even then, some previous experience will definitely be a bonus in your application. As a Sales Associate for Three you will be working as part of a team as the face of the brand. You’ll be building up a good rapport with all of Three’s customers and making sure they are treated to an exceptional customer experience each and every time they visit your store. Explaining what sort of candidates Three are looking for to fill these sales-driven, customer-focused roles, their Careers Website says: “Sales Associates help our customers get the best from Three. This means listening to what they need and helping them pick the best package. Hard-working, bright and confident, you'll be the kind of person who enjoys talking to new people. As well as customer service skills and, ideally, previous sales experience, you'll need a passion for selling as there’ll be some targets to hit.” If you excel as a Sales Associate for Three and feel like you could handle more responsibility then there’s every chance that you could move up a level or two to become an Assistant Store Manager or even a Store Manager.
