Student Testimonials<\/h2>\n

‘Waterstone’s will bring out that potential you felt you never had. I learnt the ability to switch tasks, develop team work skills, enhance my confidence and gain a comprehensive appreciation of retail management.’<\/em><\/p>\n

~ Dario Quadri Ilkhani, School of Politics and International Relations<\/p>\n

‘If you love books as much as the Waterstone\u2019s staff do; and you are prepared to muck in with everything from shelving, customer queries, pricing, website management, orders, window design, reviews to sticking labels – then two weeks in this shop will show you just how hard booksellers work. You will learn a lot and like most things – get out of it as much as you put in!’<\/em><\/p>\n

~ Pauline McGonagle, School of English<\/p>\n
